Hello all. I see that I was using the wrong version of iTunes, when I had reported about the issue being sparse. I have updated to the new iTunes, and I can indeed confirm that tabbing through controls doesn't work properly. VO navigational keys work fine though, so it is an alternative if you are not using tabs. I suppose, a bug is a bug though, and tab did previously work in the former versions of iTunes. Turning off VO is probably not the best solution here. For now, the best solution is to just use VO navigational keys as others have said. I am sure if people report it as a bug, Apple will work on it in the next release.
Take care. Fonzie On Mar 12, 2009, at 7:47 AM, Thomas McMahan wrote: > > Well said, kind of like some get bugs and some don't such as a while > back with Safari 4 and mail.
