Smart Scroll Troubleshooting ReportSafari 4.0.4 breaks Smart Scroll - Version: 3.4, 12/2/2009 12:15PM PST

Found a serious problem. This page among others will not scroll downwards with a two-finger gesture at all unless Smart Scroll is disabled with Safari 4.0.4 on OS 10.5.8. Worked perfectly with Safari 4.0.3:

Also this page will only scroll about halfway down the page before it now gets stuck:

Smart Scroll Troubleshooting ReportStarting to flake out - Version: 3.4, 12/2/2009 11:18AM PST

Cowicide
After updating to version 3.4 from 3.3 I've been noticing that it conks out on occasion with two finger zooming/coasting in Photoshop CS4 where it worked flawlessly before.

Also, now coasting conks out with Safari 4.0.4 on occasion where I can scroll upwards but lose all ability to scroll downwards at all with a two finger gesture. The page remains stationary and doesn't scroll downwards at all. I don't know if that's from upgrading Safari from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4, but I think that's when it started.

I'm very dissheartened by this because I love this app. By the way, I'm running OS 10.5.8
