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
