I thought I'd try to collect all the know mac bugs in one thread. The ones I've come across so far are:

# emotes, IMs and other chat commands that requires / do not work. (Not including IMs sent via contextual meny.) This also means we cannot send IMs during events, only receive.

# Å, Ä and Ö are not working, though I can see why that is not a very high priority

# Bringing up the contextual meny on vehicles in the loot screen (in order to refuel, reload and re-tire them) is hard and somewhat random, and requires several clicks. Strangely, some vehicles are harder to context-click, such as Stormers and Buccaneers.

# The (in event) flag does not always show up in the lobby.

# Not quite sure if this is a mac-only bug, but whenever my client crashes and I log back in, my gunners are unassigned (and I lose targeting of a vehicle, which can sometimes cost me one turn of firing), and I lose the "Escape from combat" option until I leave the town limits and enter them again.

Well, hopefully there will be nothing to add to this topic. But if there is, this is probably a good place to add it. I hope.

same here.

tried and failed..no joy here....Can't right or left click..nothing.
Luckily it did not affect the looting.

The "in event" NEVER shows for me when I log in even when there are obviously others in an event.
After they return, no change. ...... But as soon as they go into another event, it show correctly.
On another point of flags Macs' still cannot place movement flags on the map for team placement or joining set-points.

Same here.....only when I CTD....(Crash to Desktop)

If it crashes back to the lobby, I have no retargeting problems.

The only time I have had the "escape from combat" problem is when it gives the prompt and says "you are inside town limits and can now escape" and I do not take the escape option after I have seen it....If I escape, no problem......... If I have not escaped when offered and I hover over the car after processing the next turn and I am physically in town I still cannot escape.

I need to get back out of town and come back in to get the prompt again.

Heheh, no, it was "sorry" for JD.

I think it is related to my two-button mouse though.

I need to check with Sam about the Control key to simulate the right-click on the Mac. I have a friend that may give a hand to that feature.
