I'm sorry, I m isquoted - FCKEditor works fine in Safari.  TinyMCE does not.

As this conversation continues off-list, what I'm recommending to users 
who are using Safari is either edit the page raw (don't use the 
wysiwyg), or copy the block of text into an HTML editor and edit it 
there, then reload it when done.

In reality, very few 'large complex pages' are needed when working with 
Drupal, because 99% of the formatting, layout, and appearance is done by 
the CMS and the stylesheets, not in hand-coding in <table> commands. 
There are exceptions (such as the org chart), but most content is very 
simple text, with a minimum of HTML.
