First off, before I say anything, let me start by wishing everyone a very very! happy, and safe forth. God bless America!
OK, anyway, here is my concern. I'd be curious how you all would a handled this. I was trying to do something in Yosemite earlier today. I can't really go into the specifics of what. You'll know why in a second. Come to find out, this something worked just fine in Mavericks, but apparently Apple broke Voiceover accessibility in this one area within Yosemite. Well, the thing is, I didn't realize that it had been busted in Yosemite. I thought, like mavericks, it still worked, as this isn't exactly the most common feature in the OS that I've had to access. The thing is, I am an Apple developer. On one of my test machines, I'm running the developer beta preview of El Capitan. In El Capitan, the issue I was facing has been fixed. I just happened at the time to be at my Yosemite production machine instead. So, I called Apple Accessibility to see if maybe I was missing something. It was then determined that this has been broken since the official first release of Yosemite. Well, obviously, I'm on NDA, and from what Developer Support has told me, most of the senior advisors in the Accessibility department are not devs, therefore, it is advised not to discuss with them any of the stuff that is covered under NDA. This means, I couldn't exactly say, no big deal, it's fixed in El Capitan. I'll just wait until it's released, and all will be golden. The advisor starts to open a ticket feedback case request to engineering to figure out if this issue can be fixed in a future OSX release. I felt so! bad! On the one hand, I knew he was waisting his time doing this, as it has! been fixed, but, yet, I really couldn't say anything. This made me really uneasy. I hate waisting people's time. So, what should I have done? I wound up just letting him create the ticket, but I feel really bad doing so and bothering engineers with something which already has been addressed.
