Can anyone confirm that this strategy - touching the status line to re-focus -- works? I am holding off upgrading primarily for this reason now, and if this work-around works, then perhaps I will take the plunge.
It would be helpful if someone on this list could publish a list of the known accessibility problems that continue to exist with 8.11 and the work-arounds that exist to circumvent the problems. I'll bet lots of us would appreciate this. Thanks. Penny On 11/18/14, Mary Otten <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Arnold, > Obviously, people are having varying results.
