Working under OS X and 6.0b3a, but with small inconveniences

Got it up and running on the latest 6.0, installing in Win98 bottle (didn't work when I tried to install it in a 2000 bottle for some reason). I've used everything aside from the investment stuff: I've imported several types of accounts, gone online to my bank through it, made a budget, added currencies, etc.

The problems I have found are as follows:

  1. you cannot click on a button while the mouse is still (as mentioned by a previous poster); you have to try click it repeatedly while slightly moving the mouse. This doesn't happen with ALL buttons, mind you; on some parts of the screen, it works fine, on others, this problem. Also, when IE opens up within Money, no problem clicking any buttons. WORK-AROUND: click on the button you want using your mouse, then press "return". However, at times this causes a result other than desired, but it works most of the time. Of course, using the "tab" key to move around the buttons, and then pressing "enter" works fine.

  2. if you try to make a selection from a drop down list, it usually selects the entry two or three entries down from the one you want. Again, a mouse problem. WORK-AROUND: hold down on the mouse button, and only release it when your selection tip is steady on the entry you want from the drop-down list.

Both of these are minor problems, which nonetheless affect the usability, since everyone has to choose things with the mouse to get things to work smoothly. However, I have found absolutely no software inconsistencies, and no crashes of any sort. Excellent.
