the bugs in Bill Gates' Macintosh Edition Explorer 5

Macintosh Edition Explorer 5. It looks great...however it mutilates Flash sites, something the previous edition, Macintosh Edition Explorer 4.5, did not:

SCREEN SHOT OF FLASH SITE'S DIRECTORY PAGE IN EXPLORER 4.5 & 5 (MACINTOSH EDITION)

Explorer 4.5 - normal

Explorer 5 -with multiples as a result of scrolling.

........... when scrolling a Flash site it simply shows multiples.....with different parts of the page overlying others, which would not be so problematic except that the links go to the underlying parts covered by the multiplied images which the refresh button does nothing to resolve. Simply, the Flash site does not work in (the Mac edition) Explorer 5! (I have no idea, how the site works on the PC equivalent: PC edition Explorer 5.5)
