Hi all,
I'm becoming quite frustrated with Lion in the following 3 areas… perhaps
there's something I need to change in settings to get things to work better,
I'm not sure.
1. Spotlight search. I loved Spotlight search in Snow Leopard. I could find
anything, a file, email message, whatever. All I needed to do was press
command - space, type in a word or two, arrow down a list of results, press
enter on the result and it would open. In Lion, I press command, space, type
in a word or two, then, as I am arrowing down the list, I keep getting
interrupted by the message, "system has new window". If I can manage to get VO
focused on the result I want, when I press enter on it, sometimes it will open,
but most of the time it takes me to some sort of search dialogue box at which
point I need to VO right arrow till I find a list of results to navigate
through… way more cumbersome in my opinion.
2. Safari. I find that quite often, instead of a website opening within the
page, I am placed in the toolbar, and quite often cannot get out of the
toolbar. VO right arrow just keeps going around in a loop through the toolbar,
and tabbing does the same.
3. Item chooser. In Snow Leopard, I would quite often use the item chooser to
choose a piece of text I knew was on the page. I would get a nice list of
results with the desired text in it, and I could just arrow down the list,
press enter on the one I wanted, and I would be taken right to that spot on the
web page. Now, in Lion, 95% of the time I am presented with results that have
absolutely nothing to do with what I typed.
Is anyone else experiencing these frustrations? Has something changed in Lion
that I'm not aware of? Any help would be greatly appreciated.!
Thanks all,
Russell>
