Command A is "Select All."
Pretty much everything that can be selected, is selected.

Check out this cool glitch that happened in Safari! I was commenting on a thread when I found the page was glitchy. I pressed "Select All" to normalize the page--until I moved something again, of course. So, I made this video to demonstrate the glitch. No scripting was used.

Wow, I can't believe you just said that, lol!
I reworded "Command + A" to "Select All," seeing that you thought I didn't know what "Select All" was. :P

Last I checked, Atlantis is in San Francisco Bay.
What does selecting everything do to fix a page?

It just did for some reason. (That's how I was able to duplicate the glitch.) Once I moved my mouse or scrolled, the page glitched again.

Dirty pixels, safari doesn't know to clear them. How the pixels get created is somewhat of a mystery, but I suspect its a rendering optimization gone wrong. Selecting all forces the browser to change the color of everything, and thus causes all the dirty pixels to update

Weird, but cool!

You didn't know Command A selects all but you wrote lots of code+worlds+ scripts, ehh?

I know what Command + A does. If you read my text above, you'd see that I understood it selects everything selectable.
However, I don't know why it'd clear up the "dirty" pixels on a screen. Selecting ≠ cleaning, but it does clean it for some reason.
Let me repeat myself a third time for you: Selecting All fixed up this glitch temporarily. Of course I know what it does because I used it; I don't know why it fixed up the glitch temporarily.
I'll repeat myself yet again, but in upside down English if it helps you understand:

Do you get it now? ;P
