Both machines are running Mac OS X 10.9.2. I’ve used QT >> Creator 3.0.1 and QT 5.2.1. I made sure that there weren’t apps running in >> the background consuming significant resources when I experienced these >> issues. >> >> Let’s start with the installer issues: >> I experienced these issues both with the onLine and the ofLine QT installer >> for Mac OS X. >> The problem is that, after opening the installer application, the first >> installation window that appears is not accessible using Voiceover. The >> screen reader, in fact, can only see: >> - The standard buttons to close and resize the window; >> - The title of the window; >> - An “unknown” element that I can interact with. >> After interacting with the unknown element, though, Voiceover tells me that >> it doesn’t contain anything.

Since they are groups, I can suppose that >> interacting with them I should see something inside of them; but this is not >> true. If I interact with these groups Voiceover tells me that they are empty. >> Finally, in the project creation window, Voiceover sees a combo box that >> (from what I understood) should allow me to select some different template >> categories to show up in the window.
