;) Win + Z will show the app bar from the search results even though right click of the mouse won't. So it probably is a bug.
I also noticed in the "maps" app you can't right click to select directions from here/to here because right click is the app bar :S The maps in the browser is a better experience. And on apps where there's an "app bar" from top and bottom, eg "finance" or "sports" then the app bar shows but then automatically hides. Similarly in mail and calendar if I do a Win+C, select settings and then accounts, the account pane shows and automatically hides. Not sure if this is just a keyboard/mouse UI bug, VMWare, or "preview" means pre beta ;) |-----Original Message----- |From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet- |boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Nick Randolph |Sent: Thursday, 7 June 2012 7:09 PM |To: ozDotNet |Subject: RE: win 8 challenge (was RE: Win8 Release Preview) | |Good point - I actually saw that on the weekend when I was searching something. |They must have received that feedback already, so would imagine it'll get |addressed | |Nick Randolph | Built to Roam Pty Ltd | Microsoft MVP – Windows Phone |Development | +61 412 413 425 | @btroam The information contained in this |email is confidential.
