Description

I have noticed that notebooks will lock up during use on Safari making the browser unresponsive for several minutes. The notebook becomes responsive again after waiting several minutes.

Looking at the console afterwards shows the following:

Running current master under Safari 10.1.2 and Python 3.6.

Start by reproducing the lockup on current master under Safari 10.1.2 with Python 3.6, then inspect the console output and linked screenshot. Done means the notebook remains responsive during use in Safari instead of freezing for several minutes.
