Brian and others, I find that in many cases QuickNav is less helpful than it is helpful. It is convenient on websites, but other than that I do not use it. In Pages it is best not to use it, for expanding and collapsing message threads in Mail it is better if you don't use it, etc. It is not something I worry with too much, anymore. At first I loved it, bu then I realized that it hurt mroe than it helped, in many cases.
That all being said, I, too, have seen these issues with QuickNav when I have used it. Harry On Dec 19, 2012, at 3:28 PM, Brian Fischler <[email protected]> wrote: > I couldn't agree with you more.
