Hi Andy I completely understand where you're coming from. A lot of my crankiness over these bugs is, at least in part, because I'm disappointed, and a little worried that accessibility is taking a bit of a knock, because there was the iTunes thing, and then Safari, and now the mail issue (even if that's very small in comparison to the other bugs). It does seem, on the surface, like kind of a pattern developing. But honestly, I think that's just my irrational side talking. The iTunes bugs were fixed pretty quickly in an update that was released almost entirely for us, I think, and this update referred to specific testing with voiceover. It's possible they need a better testing system in place, but I don't think that necessarily means that they're not interested in making things work for us. I haven't exactly given up worrying about it, but I do think they've earned the benefit of the doubt.
Anyway, thank you for testing the iTunes update. I was very wary of downloading it this time. :) Cheers, Laura On Jun 16, 11:10 pm, Andy Lane <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there Olivia, No I agree, I haven't completely lost my faith in > Apple but I am disappointed.
