[Electronics-talk] Net flix

[Christopher Chaltain]

No, this is not new. I had this same problem in IOS 7 and maybe even IOS 
6. It does behave a lot like the focus issue in IOS 8. I've heard this 
is in the Netflix app and that Netflix hasn't been very responsive to 
improving accessibility. Note, I've only heard this second hand.
