Done
Did so already. No issues so far.
Ditto for Me
I did the same this morning, thanks to a sister for once again letting me borrow her charger. Mine is plugged in back at my apartment, and it looks like I'm going to be moving back there soon. But anyway, no problems on my end either.
Random focus jumps to dock items
Hey all,
For me I get random focus jumps to items on my dock while using Voiceover arrow keys to progress in Safari for example. After the few items of the dock, the focus goes back to where it should have been.
Anyone else?
