Mmm! Nod nod. That actually makes a lot of sense. I mean, not that they
did it that way, but the logic of what your saying seems to be the case,
yes. That would explain why it seemed to be giving an inconsistent number
of items each time I bring the thing up. Thank you very much for clarifying
this. Again, I totally understand that this is only your observation which
you cannot totally guarantee, however, that said, I definitely think you're
on to something here.

Subject: Re: [Mac-access]: Is item chooser broken in Yosemite?
I would not say it has broken but it has definitely changed.
What appears to happen now is that it is available almost immediately but
continues to increase in length of the chooser as you wait. . What used to
happen is that on big web pages it would take a time for the item chooser
to come up but then it would all be there.
Now it comes up with the first 22 elements almost immediately and
continues to grow. I think this is what is happening but have no sighted
help to confirm this.
So I went to www.bbc.co.uk/news and hit item chooser.
The Thirst items on the chooser were all items in the tool bar as
expected but if I continually hit the end key on my keyboard the last item
available on the item chooser was changing as further elements from the
page was read into the list.
So if I am trying to find an element on the page and the list has not yet
expanded to include all the elements of the page it is very possible that
it would not have got around to reading the necessary element into the
list and will not work. .
I guess this takes a bit of getting used to. The upside is that if you
want to identify something at the top of the page, especially in the
Safari toolbar it is quicker than the old system, the downside is that
there is no real way of telling when the list is fully populated apart
from hitting the end key to jump to the bottom of the list and seeing
where it has got up to on the page. It may also be slower at accessing
elements at the end of pages than the old system.
I think this is what is happening.

Hi listers,
Ever since I updated to Yosemite, I've noticed I can't use item chooser
in most situations. Especially in safari it just hangs up and when I hit
the escape key it cancels. It never actually finishes loading in the
items. Are other people having this problem? Is there a fix? Thanks. It
would be nice to know if I'm not alone.
