Yes indeed Esther with the mouse there is no problem. Incidentally, this isn't specific to my machine. I kidnapped my Fiancee's computer when she wasn't looking and could replicate the same issues on that machine. BOth are running 10.6.3, so your notion that it's a version specific issue coul

Hi, I think this must be specific to the Snow Leopard version you're using. What happens if you click with an actual mouse or trackpad click on the entry with VoiceOver turned off? Can you just type in a new name? Cheers, Esther Dónal Fitzpatrick wrote: Again Ester unfortunately not.

Again Ester unfortunately not. When I press tab, focus changes to the table containing the list of cards. Oddly enough, when I use shift-tab to return to the groups table, the bug outlined in my previous message arises. Cheers Dónal On 12 May 2010, at 19:47, Esther wrote: > Hi Dónal, > > A

Hi Dónal, You need to use the delete key (without holding down the Control and Option keys) just after you've created the new group, while it is highlighted, and before you move around. If you try to go to the group and interact, and then press the delete key, your Mac will indeed try to

Ah interesting :) OK what happens in this one (for me) is this: 1. I go to the group I want to edit; 2. I interact with it. Vo says "interacting with edit text" 3 I press delete, at which point it tries to delete the group rather than the text. I tried the workaround of: 1. finding the group
