Re: Item Chooser turning VO off

2014-03-18 Thread Bryan Jones 
While I don’t think I’ve personally encountered this with the Item Chooser, I 
have experienced it when using the Web Rotor, particularly when listing Static 
Text elements. Of course I’m now unable to locate one of those problem pages to 
post here for possible confirmation. :)

Use web rotor instead vo-u. I get something almost the same if I press 
vo-command-n when in an open message in Mail. It simply crashes and 
restarts VoiceOver!

Thanks for this info. I will report this. It happens a lot more to me than it 
should and it has from the start.

Re: Item Chooser turning VO off

2014-03-17 Thread Zachary Kline 
Hi,
THis is a VoiceOver crash, and should not be happening. might I suggest using 
the web rotor instead? It’s a sortable list of the elements on a web page, and 
more focused than the Item CHooser. Try it with cmd-u.
That being said, I’d report this one to Apple Accessibility. I don’t use the 
Item CHoose at all myself, but I’m sure they’ll want to know about it. Their 
adress is accessibil...@apple.com.
Best,
Zack.

Re: Item Chooser turning VO off

2014-03-17 Thread Sarah k Alawami 
What it is is a voice over crash. I've had this happen before but it's rare. 
Can you maybe just  find he text you are looking for by typing it in the box 
when you hit vo f, then hitting vo g until you get to the text,  or if the site 
is well layer out you can navigate by heading with the vo cmd h and vo cmd 
shift h. vo cmd m for same level you just hit and vo shift cmd m for the 
previous  same heading you were just on.

Take care.

Item Chooser turning VO off

2014-03-17 Thread Kristeen Hughes 
When I am in Safari, not all but some times, if I want to use the item chooser, 
I will press vo+i and after a short time of busy, the Mac will say, "welcome to 
Mac OS 10; Voiceover is running." There is no item chooser list. I'm not sure 
if it makes a difference how many items are on a page, but I think the more 
items, the more likely it is to happen. Does anyone know why this is happening? 
It makes dealing with some very important sites on the web very difficult.

Thanks in advance.
