Actually the default is switched off. But can be changed in your preferences:

go to your account
click edit
look for a section part way down with the cryptic heading "TinyMCE settings"
select off
click submit at the bottom of the page to record your changes

I did a bit of checking with Safari, but must admit it was only to see if the editor looked like it was working. I probably wouldn't have posted a message. I'll see if I can replicate the problem and find a fix, although...

Looks like there's only partial compatibility with Safari on OSX. TinyMCE is generally regarded as having about the best cross-browser compatibility, so it will be a struggle to find anything much better.

You might try using rich text to edit the post/comment and then click on "disable rich-text" to see whether you don't have something resembling the HTML for your message?

Or, you could switch to Firefox.
