I just looked around in GB10 and see that there was a monitor button in the track headers, but you probably already know that. Might it be a problem with your sound card? By the way, what are you using for a sound card? If monitoring is gone in GB under both OS’s where it used to be available i

I don’t know what the problem is, but Safari was a total basket case on TaxActOnline.com . So much so that I had to switch over to Internet Explorer in a windows VM to do my taxes. IE handled the process like a champ, but Safari was like a knee-walking drunken sailor on

If you can configure your screen reader to use the insert key as its modifier key, than there is an easy solution in Fusion settings. you can set a key, (I and many others use the grave accent key), and have fusion send the VM an insert key whenever you press your selected key. JAWS and NVDA can

This is easily done in QuickTime Player. Simply load the first movie into QT, do a "select all”, then “successively “perform an insert clip after selection” command from the edit menu for each movie you want to add. repeat the “select all” after adding each movie to ensure the clip gets added

You seem to be mixing terms. you refer to “leftmost” header rows and “top” header row. Rows can’t be leftmost or rightmost, they’re stacked one above each other. Just as header columns are vertical columns each next to the other. I don’t really understand your question the way you posed it. I can

This sounds like the way it used to work before the recent update. There is an unlabeled button after the search box which toggles the search categories and station favorites list. And yes, sometimes its kind of flakey and doesn’t show up unless you arrow past it and then back again. I think the
