Agreed, in previous versions of the operating system though, the number of running applications was correct. Not a big deal, I was just curious, I may look in to which application is doing this when I have time. It could be the notification center, that's one thing that was introduced in mountain lion. Even still, mountain lion is a great update. I'm so glad the safari busy issues are finally gone, that's an issue that was long over due to be fixed. Also, we can now access all items in the status menu, again, a long standing issue.
Original message:
Hi,

There are applications that run in the background upon startup such as Authentication, WIFI Agent and more. These applications are core services sorts of things and VO recognizes that they are running when it first turns on but they are not apps that you normally access in cmd-tab or Application Chooser methods. It's not necessarily a shortcoming, it's just usually a consequence of VO starting up prior to everything else finishing in the background.

Later...

I've always recieved weird app and window counts like the one you mention from ML using the VO F1 and VO f2 keys. I've just chalked it up to non-critical VO and Mac shortcomings, and let it go at that.

Subject: odd thing with voice over in mountain lion




Hey everyone, noticed something strange in mountain lion, wondering if anyone else is noticing this. When I start up my mac and get to the desktop, pressing control option F1 says that there are 2 running applications, yet if I press it again, it only shows the finder in the menu. I have nothing in my log in items and am not running any anti virus software. I've checked my processes and everything looks like system services, does anyone else notice this?
