Hello all
I have a test that I would like you leopard users to do. I am
experiencing this problem on my computer, and just wanted to make sure
that it is not just me before I go email accessibility.
In the finder:
Go to the macintosh HD folder at the root of your harddrive
press cmd i for the information dialog
Does your voiceover crash on you?
When i try to summon up the information dialog with cmd i in the
finder, whether it be a folder or a file, I have had this happen. I
am not precicely sure if I can narrow it down to any finder items in
particular, though I do know that I can produce it perfectly when I do
it with macintosh hd. Basically, voiceover just goes silent, and the
keyboard becomes unresponsive. There were a couple times where I was
able to cmd tab out of the finder, and just tab around another window
until voiceover woke up again, and then I would have to force quit the
finder in order to get back into it. More often than not, I have
simply had to force quit the finder without speech before I could
bring vo back.
On my computer at least, vo seems to have an aversion to this
information dialog.
Thank you for your time on this
Justin Harford
