Selecting quick fix in Mac OS X

[Gregory Murphy]

How do I select from among more than one quick fix in NB 6.1 on Mac OS X
(10.4)?

If I select a few lines of Ruby code, wait for the light bulb to appear,
then type ctrl-enter, the quick-fix dialog appears with a number of
options. But any key I choose at this point either selects the first
option, or closes the window without selecting any. I can't figure out
how to select a different option.

You mean Alt-Enter, right?

You're supposed to use the up/down arrow keys, and Enter to select one.

I assume this happens with Java hints as well?

This sounds like a focus bug we had on OSX on 10.4 (and 10.3) - I've  
never seen it on Leopard and I've used it for many months now so it's  
hopefully at least fixed going forward.

Hmmm... no, I haven't touched my key bindings, and Ctrl-Enter brings up
the quick fix window.

Up/Down arrow keys don't work, so I'll assume it's the bug which you
mention. I'm planning to upgrade to Leopard soon. This will serve as an
additional motivation.
