Re: Moving Mailboxes to the favorites Bar in Lion?

2011-07-28 Thread Shen
I believe, if your mouse cursor is not set to follow the VoiceOver cursor, that you will need to bring it over before using the drag and drop feature. So use VO-Command-F5 to bring the mouse pointer to the VoiceOver cursor. Then use VO-Comma to mark the item to drag. Go to the Favorites bar, and

Re: a most paculiar Safari behavior

2011-07-29 Thread Shen
Hi, yes I am noticing this too. Although I am getting this more after I installed Lion. I don't know if this is because of Lion, or because of Safari 5.1. I have to manually interact with the html section more often than before. Before, VoiceOver was better at interacting with html content autom

Mail classic view

2011-07-31 Thread Shen
Hi, Wondering if anyone has seen this. You probably have to have your Mail setup the same as mine to see this behavior. I have my Mail set to classic view, and group messages by conversation. I generally put VoiceOver on the subject line since I don't really need to know who is sending the email

Re: Getting to the top or bottom of a list

I wish Apple didn't remove the Jump command. This might be more of a convenience than usability. But I would have preferred the Jump command. If you are on the sender column, using the jump command takes you to the top or bottom of the table without leaving that column. Using VO-Shift-Home or End

Lion clean install

Hello, So I decided to take the plunge today and do a clean installation of Lion. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to install Lion. In fact, it was so easy the whole process took less than an hour. VoiceOver spoke to me the entire time. So far, I've been using it for about 2 hours. I do

I have the same problems with Chrome. But when I was prompted to choose a search engine, I chose the first image button. I figure the choices are probably Google, Yahoo and Bing. I'm quite certain Google is the first choice, and I was right. I am able to read an html site, but for some reason, s

Hi, I don't think you can just roll your Safari back to the previous version. I did a quick search but haven't found anything so far. If I do, I'll let you know. On Aug 14, 2011, at 11:06 AM, Linda Adams wrote: > Shen and Others, > > I'm still having problems with

It's quite interesting. I just updated to the latest iTunes, presumably version 9.2.1. Now, the "About iTunes" window is no longer accessible. It just says "empty unknown". I cannot even verify that I have version 9.2.1. This version obviously did not go through a thorough accessibility test befo
