That's because it's a beta ;P

Basically there are times when Voyager sucks (56 times in fact, according
to my list ;) but Olli fixes them and it sucks less. In recent months only a
few nasty bugs have really been making it suck, and they've all been fixed,
and now Olli's fixing the last of the truly suck-bugs.. the rest are just
missing functionality (umm.. lists.. table 'height' attribute) and they also
shall be fixed :)

Ask yourself if you're getting that from IBrowse, with regular betas :P

Thanks
