[Trainer-Talk] A Google Drive Bug With Chromium-based Browsers

[Nimer Jaber]

Hello,

A fix to this bug is rolling out, and should be available in Chrome Canary
today.

In the meantime, in addition to the other solutions mentioned, it is
possible to access individual docs, sheets, and slides by going to the
respective site and using the search or the recent list. Tabbing to the
more actions button should also read out the file that the button
corresponds to, so while nto ideal, this could be a workaround as well.

thanks.
