No matter what I do, I cannot open the context menu for any item on the dock. It just goes back to the finder, unless voiceover is reporting it wrong, I guess I could try control clicking with the trackpad on my laptop but for the mac minis, nothing works. > On Mar 2, 2021, at 4:11 PM, Cara

The shortcut menu does not work, whether you press the up arrow to open the menu which used to work, or you do vo+shift+m on a dock item, or even right click the mouse on an item, it doesn't work, at least not on any of my macs. > On Mar 1, 2021, at 6:51 PM, John Panarese wrote: > >Which
