Dave,
I tried again, opened at least 8 apps including the VM. The only
thing I don't do is minimize the windows.
What is Finder open to? Any drive that is connected is on the desktop.
This may be the time to run the Activity Monitor. I have not used it
enough to tell you how to use it, perhaps someone else can. It may well
be something in the background you are npt aware of.
From E.T.'s Keyboard...

Many believe that we have been visited
in the past. What if it were true?

More testing results…
I shut down all my apps except finder.
When I get stuck with the non-appearing Extras Menu I then launch the VO
Utility app and then close it with Cmd+Q
Then the VO+m works exactly as it should … except for the following events:
1. VO+m twice to the Extras menu which comes up, but I also hear “finder
busy”
If I wait, then another VO+m drops to the apple menu like a good
computer should.
And I can go back/forth just fine.
2. VO+M twice to the extras menu, which comes up
No “finder busy” message, no “finder Ready” message
VO+m and I’m dropped into the content of the finder.
Another VO+M puts me bak to a non-appearing Extras menu — I’m stuck again.
Invoking the VO utilities app and shutting off again will restore
correct operation.
I’m beginning to suspect that the “finder Busy “ is the clue.
If my finder is struggling with a lot of stuff in the background, could
that be preventing the Extras (and sometimes the Apple) menu from appearing?
I do have three network drives and my backup drive on my desktop, along
with several alias items. Is there just too much junk?
