The problem is that metaKey isn't supported by any version of IE for Mac
according to here:
http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_events.html
I don't really care, since I don't use a Mac, and if I did, I certainly
wouldn't use IE, but it might be a problem for some users.

There was just a discussion where I showed that the "meta" key you can get with
javascript does give you the apple/command key state. In fact I have a change in the code
for my RoundCube install that uses the apple/command key instead of control and it works
in Firefox and Safari. That way I can use command-click for non-contiguous multiple
select.

Now checking for event.metaKey on Mac with have the same effect as
holding Ctrl-key on PCs. Will commit the changed to CVS later on.

The scrolling problem should have been fixed with the patches that I
submitted
a while ago, and it should be fixed with the latest problem.
Macs have 4 modifier keys: shift, ctrl, alt/option, apple-key, but they
aren't
used quite as they are on linux/windows systems. The apple-key is used on
a
mac where you would normally use a ctrl key on windows (press apple-x to
cut
instead of ctrl-x). Because macs only have one mouse button, normally you
would use the ctrl key with a mouse click to get the context menu
(ctrl-click
= right mouse button).
This creates some problems with safari because a ctrl-click looks like
both a
ctrl-click and a right mouse button click. This is the problem you seem
to
be having with the ctrl-click in roundcube.
Unfortunately, I know of no ways to detect the apple modifier key from
javascript in roundcube.
I didn't follow the latest round of changes to try and address the
ctrl-click
mac bugs, so I don't know what was submitted and if it fixes anything.
I'm
running the latest public cvs and can say that ctrl-anything doesn't work.
The only other thing I can say about safari is that using the arrow keys
on
the keyboard don't work well. They will always cause the message list
"frame" to scroll to the top. This is a bug in safari
(http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4944).

Tony,
Try the latest CVS and see if the selecting works any better. I checked
in some changes to try to address the ctrl-click Mac bugs, but I didn't
get them in in time to be included in the .1 version.
You can also look back in the list archives for the discussion that
Jacob and I had around the middle of February. We were passing patches
back and forth that might be of use to you.
Basically it didn't work because Mac's don't *have* a control key, as
best I can tell. I fixed it so that on at least some browsers it will
use the "Command" key or whatever you guys call it. I still haven't
been able to test it, so any feedback is appreciated.
This is the first I've heard of the scrollbar not working. Is anyone
else experiencing this. Jacob (if you're still around) , is this
something you experienced?

I was surprised to find that ctrl+click does not work in the inbox in
the popular Safari browser on MacOS. Shift+click works fine, just
not ctrl+click. Works fine in Firefox and IE. Also, the scrollbar
does not work in the inbox list surprisingly. I can see the bar, but
it just won't move. I'm using the latest release of Safari on Mac
OSX Tiger and the latest stable beta of RoundCube.
If you want to really screw up the interface, try sending yourself an
HTML email using <DIVS> to layout the page. All of the graphics end
up in the upper-left-most corner of the browser window behind the
roundcube logo. This seems to be true across IE and Firefox.
