El Capitan Beta 6 Safari Launches on its own

Since updating to Beta 6 I have had a peculiar problem that I haven't been able to completely track down. I've noticed that Safari is being started by some process, but it's windows are not open. I have four tabs set to open when I launch Safari. When I launch Safari its window opens and those four tabs load, no problem. Then I quit Safari. At some point I noticed that there was the little white dot under Safari again and that it was running. If I click on it in the dock, the window and my tabs are displayed. I quit Safari again (verified that no process is running and there is no dot under the icon in the dock). Later, I again notice that Safari is again running. In order to try and catch when this happens I assigned Safari to its own desktop. I can be working in another application and all of a sudden the desktop shifts to the one where I had assigned to Safari. Safari's window is not open, but it does show that it is running and minimized in the dock.


Here are the events from my system log that occurred just before Safari launched - has anyone else experienced this:

Max,


Thanks - this helped and it solved another mystery; where had all my storage gone since installing 10.11 Developer Beta. I am running 10.11 on a 2014 MacBook Air with 120 GB storage. I had over 40GB free and after all the beta installs I was down to 9GB. Since moving this file and deleting what I could (more on that in a moment) I recovered about 29GB of space.


I can't delete the directory totaly. Not even when booted from another drive, via the terminal as root. There are three directories (/Applications) that tell me they are in use and can't be deleted. I was able to delete most of the other files. For some reason there is a backup of CrashPlan that absolutely refuses to be deleted. I've changed the group and owner permissions to my user thinking that might have something to do with it. No luck so far, but since it only takes up a few k of space I'm not terribly worried about it. Once El Capitan is released I will wipe this system and do a clean install anyway.


I have noticed my drive space decreasing again so I will keep an eye on it. Thanks again for the hint.
