Sorry, haven't any solution-it bothers me, too.

"Exact same thing has happened to me, too-a while back & again recently. Didn't mention it because I didn't see thread or post by anyone else saying it had happened to them-and problem was intermittent (came & went erratically). Happens when there's an ask.com ad bopping around (image moves annoyingly) along side or bottom of WP page."

Apparently, no one cares. At least using Firefox prevents it from happening.

Well, from the thread which contained browser poll, 10% of people said they use Safari.

Saw thread recently that included links to adblockers, for Safari & others-but I can't seem to figure out which thread that was-I checked in the site & general discussions sections. Drat !
At least I did grab these two & put them in my bookmarks (from whichever thread it was):
http://safariadblock.sourceforge.net/
http://code.google.com/p/safariblock/
Can't vouch for the links personally, since someone else posted them, but anyway...
