I can confirm the bug with being thrown to places you don't want to be. In my

And may i add to this that if you click or context menu click on a data

Hi Christine,
I'm perplexed. How do you see the push to have iPads in classrooms as
something that leaves the blind/VI student out? If anything, I see that as
something that better enables us to participate, thanks to the fact that Apple
has made the iPad a fully accessible device.
Best,
nice one donna, I fully agree.
the iPad is a product which can truly change the lives of blind users
