Re: [Mac-access]: Combo boxes in Facebook
Paul, unless this behavior occurs in the official build of Yosemite, aren't you on a... gasp!... non disclosure agreement? Wouldn't this mean that if results in the beta are different, if not, then ok, but if so, they should be addressed only within the Apple beta seed channels? --- Check out my web site at: http://www.clgproductions.net - Original Message - From: Paul Hopewell hopew...@hopewell.org.uk To: mac-access mac-access@mac-access.net Sent: Friday, March 20, 2015 5:59 PM Subject: [Mac-access]: Combo boxes in Facebook Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.10.3 beta 2 on my iMac.

Re: [Mac-access]: Combo boxes in Facebook
Actually the combo boxes I think are broken in all forms of safari. Use m.facebook.com http://m.facebook.com/ and change the user agent to firefox as I have this issue to in all sarafis I use.

Re: [Mac-access]: Combo boxes in Facebook
Actually, I've been doing the user agent trick now for so long, I don't even remember when I started doing it with Facebook. It's been minimum at least! since 2010, as I remember my uncle having a Snow Leopard machine at that time, before I even got my first mac, and I remember playing around the one night I was at his place on his IMac with the Facebook mobile site, and I remember having to do that then.
