Hi Shen, When I'm logging in, no key presses work, not Command F5, and not the volume keys.
The other thing that's weird is when I get logged in, VO first says "Dictation IM has no windows". I squirm around until I get out of that, and then end up in another window that says something like "System Core UI has no Windows." More squirming till I eventually get out of that. It's all very odd. And if I set login prefs to log in automatically, I have no issues, i.e. the Dictation And Core UI windows don't appear at all.
