I'm experiencing a very strange issue, one that seems to have come up
out of the blue. I keep my mailing list messages sorted by threads
and often will delete entire threads. For some strange reason,
VoiceOver is deciding to occasionally reset when I attempt deleting
lengthy threads. Here's a broken down example of what happens.
#1 I go to a mailing list folder and interact with the messages table.
#2 I vo-right to the subject heading as that's what I normally focus
on and because I don't care about the date, status, etc....
#3 I start merily deleting mail and come to a thread that is not of
interest.
#4 I hit delete to zap the thread and hear nothing. About ten seconds
later, i get the VoiceOver ready message. I then have to again
interact with the messages table and find the subject column.
Sometimes this behavior repeats itself on the very next thread I wish
to delete, sometimes not until a few threads later. I believe the
more posts a thread contains, the more apt this problem is to occur.
I haven't installed any new software lately and can't think of
anything that's recently updated -- mail definitely hasn't. Thinking
that my deleted items might be too full or something, I've made sure
to empty it -- results are the same. I've thought maybe deleting the
mail .plist might help, but am not sure where my view settings and
rules are stored and really really want to avoid setting all that back
up.
Thanks for any ideas,
Steve
