Annoying things about Tiger

[jemeinc]

I don't know what you are talking about. iChat works wonderfully for me. I

I'm happy for you, really I am- but like I said, iChat doesn't work for a lot of people. Apple has acknowledged there's a problem, and their support site is filled with all kinds of people posting work arounds, and temporary fixes...

People on here have posted about going into their activity monitor after quitting iChat and seeing "iChat not responding" in red letters, and force quitting from the activity monitor.

hey MarkJones, do you use Comcast for your interweb service?

Cause if you do, thats probably a reason why, their DNS is all fubbard where im at near Seattle, and I think its like that for a bunch of other people elsewhere.

Yes i use comcast but i seriously doubt thats the problem. I have used them for years without a problem and i know at least 2 other people in my local area that use comcast with tiger who dont have this problem.

The thing that annoys the hell out of me is that "command ~" doesn't work in any app, Finder, Safari, etc. This gives you the ability to cycle through open windows in an app or folder. I always use this in Safari when I have several pages open. Now I have to use the mouse or Expose to get to the page I want. VERY ANNOYING!!!

Did you check your keyboard access prefs? Very strange. Cmd-~ works the same for me as it always has -- it does what it should in almost every app (some of the old exceptions are still exceptions, I think).

Try cmd-< and cmd-> (= cmd-shift-<)... works for me... English Mac OS X, Norwegian keyboard layout...

One thing I find really annoying is how Safari (2.0) works with the Reply to Topic text box here at MR. When I click to insert a Smilie, it gets inserted after the cursor, or to be specific: after all typed text... and in Firefox I could mark one or more words and click the B, I or U buttons or use the font, size or color menus to change the marked text, but now in Safari the JavaScript just pops up a text box to fill in and inserts after all the text, like with the smilies...

I miss my Fox...

Yes, this issue, and the way the keyboard shortcuts for changing from tab to tab work (as Dr. Q pointed out, in cases where a textbox is focused, they act on the textbox and not the tab ... which is nice, except that a number of pages default focus to a textbox, so when you keyboard apple-arrow to them, you cannot move to the next tab without the mouse or de-focusing the textbox. Ugh.

Ok, I fixed it. It was shot off some how in the keyboard prefs. Hmm...
