I am sad to say that I absolutely agree. Apple needs to concentrate on these everyday issues as a matter of urgency. I am afraid that, even now, I have to go back to Windows and Jaws for anything involving secure web pages. Even if pages load I have dreadful problems with passwords. The biggest feature request I would have for Voiceover would be to provide consistent click feedback when entering text into secure edit boxes I have tried to access Nat West a few times using the Mac and Safari and have given up each time as the complete lack of feedback when entering password information is too confusing and unnerving. oxes. Voiceover and Safari hardly ever achieve proper feedback on secure edit fields. . So in the last 2 days I tried to access GMail and the Sainsburys site. On theGMail login I received only sporadic click feedback confusing me as to whether key presses had been registered aor not. On the sainsbury site I received no feedback at all. In fact one of the few places I know where I have received anything like consistent click feedback in a password field is the App Store. E ven here the first key press is silent . presumably because the first letter of my password is capitalised. This is one of my biggest disappointments with the Mac. As you know password automaters will not work with the Nat West site as you need to enter randomly selected characters from password and pin, as you do with payment verification systems on shopping sites. Ebay is usable as having a paypal account and simple login makes it far easier. I am not asking for any security breaches, just for voiceover to do its job of providing a click every time you type in an edit field. The equivalent of the sighted user seeing a star. We are being badly let down here. Both NVDA and Jaws have no problem with providing feedback in these same edit boxes so I am mystified as to why this is a problem for Voiceover. This and the apparent inability of mac wordprocessin software to handle a table in a word documents are big drawbacks. As an academic I am constantly confronted with documents with tables in. Lots of good things about the Mac but these are big problems of everyday usage which need to be sorted urgently. David Griffith d.griff...@btinternet.com
