Re: Menu Extras

I was out for awhile and when I got back here I tried vo MM again and I could hear everything like normal so I guess it was that malwarebytes thing after all. I'll try doing what you suggested with control f8 though just in case I need it. thanks. Lorie > On Feb 14, 2019, at 2:17 PM, 'Tim

Re: Menu Extras

Hi, I was able to partially duplicate your issue when I used ctrl-f8. Once focus moved up to the Menu Extras, only one item was available. To fix this, I let go of the VO keys, then pressed the right arrow, then pressed the VO keys once again and was able to navigate normally in the Menu

Re: Menu Extras

Hi, Are you using VO-left/right to move through the Menu Extras? Menu Extras is a different animal, and does not allow simple arrow navigation. You must also use VO-space to activate. This behaviour is different than in the regular menus, but has been this way for quite a number of MacOS
