#54806 — How to file a Safari bug report/javascript global object memory leaks

I have been plagued for over a week by phantom audio streams (not 
advertising, sounds like a movie soundtrrack; different every day) 
every time I open a Safari window. The only way I can get rid of it is 
to disable javascript.

Today I closed every window to see if that would stop the audio.
Safari displayed an error dialog:
 global resource leaks
 8 javascript global objects detected
 file a bug report about this

 This message only appears when every window is closed.

Unfortunately, the messaage does not tell me HOW to file an error 
report.  How does a non-programmer file an error report?

TIA
Mike

Go to https://bugreport.apple.com/ and start by following the
link on the "An Apple ID is required to use this tool" line,
unless you already have an Apple ID that works on this page.

Summary: register with Apple as a developer (free), which gives you the
right to use the bug reporter, then visit the bug reporter web site and
file a detailed bug report there.

Registering as a developer doesn't mean you need to be a programmer, and
doesn't place any particular requirements on you. In particular, you
don't have to agree to a non-disclosure agreement (which is part of the
paid developer programmes), but you also don't get access to pre-release
software.

It seems Apple has made the link to register as a developer somewhat
harder to locate, but I found it by going to http://developer.apple.com,
then following the "Compare Developer Programs" link, which led me to:

https://developer.apple.com/register/index.action

You can use an existing Apple ID, or set up another one specifically for
development tasks.

Once you are registered, you can file a bug report by going to

http://bugreport.apple.com

Sign in with your developer Apple ID, then you can fill in a form to
file a new bug report, view and add details to your previous bug
reports, etc.

When filing a new bug report you need to follow a defined structure,
which is much easier to do since they updated the user interface.

FWIW, today I do not have phantom audio streams, and I haven't
done anything to get rid of them.
Thanks for the advice, I will file an Apple Bug Report soon.
