I installed OS 5.1 last night on my iPad 2, replacing 5.01. Now to see if it resolves the problem of Safari closing randomly and repeatedly when text boxes are open. I followed the previously posted instructions to restart, reset, close all other applications, turn off the cloud, etc, but it has still been closing up until yesterday. Visiting the Apple store and talking to a genius brought no joy, since they said "we have never seen that problem before". When I showed them over 1 million Google hits on the same apparent problem they were unsure as to how to respond. So I took pity on them and left.

Interested in other's experiences as to whether the upgrade to 5.1 resolves this apparent bug.
