Apple working on Safari's Twitter bug

Apple's OS X El Capitan for Mac brought in many
welcome features when it was released last year,
but also had a few pesky bugs. One, in particular,
affected how Twitter loaded in Safari: when users
clicked on a shortened "t.co" Twitter link, a blank
page or error page would load in Safari rather than
the content they were supposed to see. (The issue
was only in Safari, not in Chrome or Firefox.)
Fortunately, the latest test version of OS X El
Capitan, version 10.11.4, appears to fix the problem,
as first reported by MacRumors and confirmed
independently by The Verge . El Cap beta users have
reported this as well. Clicking on Twitter short links
should now bring you to the content you're
supposed to see in Safari.
OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 was just released as a
public beta, which means that users who have
signed up for the beta program using their Apple IDs
will have access to it, but we're told a finalized
version of 10.11.4 might not be out for a month or
so.
