Hello, I have experienced this problem as well. Interestingly, it seems as if you command tab way from the window after pressing command S to save, once you command tab back, if I remember right, you will have the regular save dialogue, etc. It is as if VoiceOver loses focus. It might be a useful exercise to see where the mouse pointer and VoiceOver cursers are during all of this. As for TExtEdit freezing and having to be force quit, that is something I have no answer for but have also noticed. Again it might be some sort of focus issue.
Hope this helps, some at least, Harry On nov 14, 2012, at 9:58 a.m., Andrew Lamanche <andrew.laman...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Listers, > > I've come across a very strange behaviour when sending selected text to > TextEdit.
