Hi all. Ever since I started using Yosemite on my iMac, I have had intermittent issues with voiceover stopping. I don't think voiceover actually turns off but my arrow keys would do nothing, vo-arrows did nothing at least not with sound feedback, and command-tabbing gave me little clicking sounds sometimes. If I then got vo turned off and back on, I would have speech back until I got into mail again. Sometimes mail would also be okay, but often as soon as I got into my inbox messages table, the same thing would happen. At first I tended to blame it on some kind of bluetooth keyboard bug or on the fact that I switch between several bluetooth keyboards regularly. But at one point I plugged in my usb keyboard and the problem still occurred. Sometimes, with bluetooth or usb keyboard, I would think the problem was gone and then it would start up again with nor reason I could find
Finally, I decided to switch to classic mail since mail almost always seemed to be where the problem would start and if I then quit mail and got voiceover running again the problem didn't seem to occur again until I opened mail. Since I have switched to classic mail I have had no further problem. It has only been a bout twenty-four hours but I switched at a time when the problem kept recurring. I know there are some disadvantages to changing to classic mail and perhaps I will eventually find something I can change in my mail settings that will solve this, or maybe an update will remedy it, but for now I am finding that changing to classic mail seems to have totally eliminated my problem. -- Cheryl I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf. I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper thrown in the trash! Then God gave me a new heart and life: His joy for my despairing tears! And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
