Physics changed on pool table?

Not sure what's causing this, but has the physics been changed on the pool table recently?  I'm seeing the balls hovering/vibrating over the pockets for a long time before dropping, and this is happening more frequently.  They get stuck there until all the balls stop moving, then they sink after a second or two.  This has lost me the cash bonus several times, because the hand comes in to take the money away even though the ball should have dropped a long time ago.  Also, on some shots the target and the cue switch places, or the target ball stays put and the cue flies through.

I am using Safari 4.0.4 right now.  Will try again later with Firefox.

Stay cool.

I tried Firefox and it seems to work fine.  Wonder if maybe it's Safari's interface with Flash?  Probably not too many Safari users here, huh?  I notice similar weirdness using an old laptop with a really slow processor (G4 PowerBook) in both browsers.  Thanks for the quick response.  I'll just stick to Firefox from now on ...

I know this thread is old but I played 3 weird games of pool just now.

I would click to shoot and would have to click again (I know my mouse works fine), sometimes upon shooting the white ball would just respawn as if I pocketed it. The flash kinda freezes (but not the music) for a second before chopping back to "normal" when the balls are moving. So I got to miss a few shots (more than I usually do)

pool game hasn't been touched, so it's likely something was up locally (low on ram or something)

i use firefox and it does the same thing for me. i miss out on bonuses and when another ball tries to go in the pocket behind the hovering ball, it bounces back.
