They said the bug is "closed"? Hmmm... 
I'm going to assume that by "closed" they mean "fixed." How'd it go with your own tests? Do you consider the issue to be "closed" right now with 8.1.1? Or will it be "closed" after 8.1.2 or higher is released?

It appears to be fixed. I've been running 8.1.1 for almost 48 hours and typing on eiC until my thumbs get sore. The first day I copied all the new posts word-for-word and then backspaced it all and never actually posted any of it. Backspacing was what triggered the freeze about 75% of the time. So based on the amount of typing I've done, I should have had at least fifteen lockups since updating...and I've had ZERO.

The bug didn't affect me outside of eiC. I'm not sure why. I found a couple people on the Apple forum who experienced it and about twelve people on macrumors. These were people experiencing the exact same bug (Safari freezes when typing on forums). I found numerous people who had the shortcut freeze Safari bug, but I didn't count them. That was common. It was similar, but it had a different trigger and was avoidable/preventable.
