Hi David,
Thanks for your continued input on my slow item chooser problem. I’d
love to have mine working like yours. I get busy busy in safari even with the
site is small with fewer items. If I wait a very long time the item chooser
will finally say it is loading items. So I don’t think it matters what site we
compare.
I am using the Alex voice and I’m pretty sure I am using a activity
that turns on quick nav when i start safari.
I’m using a 2012 Retina 15 inch I7 with 16 gigs of ram and a SSD . this
should give me speed and that is why I set it up that way.
i miss the item chooser as it was a quick way to find things.
This happens even with only mail or even nothing else open on my Mac.
Thanks for any tips for what I might try.
At least I know others are not having this problem so eventually I should get
the useful Item chooser behavior back.
