Hi,
There is one more issue that i'm aware of, but whether this is a
voiceover- or a Skype issue, i don't know but in chat windows, when in
group navigation view, you can't get passt first page of messages.
Workaround, switch to Dom view and then you can see all messages.
One feature request too, it'd be nice if one could send incoming chat
messages to Growl or have skype read them. I mean Skype reads messages
in the background so why not read them when the chat window is in front?

I'm looking for input on Mac Skype accessibility problems. These are
notes I took based on my experience with the currently available Mac
Skype release. I welcome comments, corrections, etc. if anyone has
any.
Pardon the raw formatting; I originally wrote these for myself as an
aid
in communicating with Skype developers. Pay attention to indenting
and
leading dashes; this is written in a sort of outline format.
One brief note beforehand: The "Missed events tree" that I mention is
probably not supposed to exist is in fact invisible, according to a
sighted Skype user I talked to. This is why clicking on its entries
does not do the expected thing. This is the view that says things
like "collapsed 5 missed calls" (this is imprecise language; I'm not
at a Mac right now). There are two History views, one reached with
"Show History" and the other from the Window menu I think, hence their
names below. The "missed events tree" is neither of these.
Known issues:
File transfer table is inaccessible ("Unknown" for each row).
Chat drawers are inaccessible:
- "Unknown" for each row.
- Can't read rows without activating chats.
- I believe focus jumps out of the drawer when a chat activates.
- Note: Workaround: Use separate chat windows; but this becomes
cumbersome with large numbers of simultaneous chats.
Window menu history (one of two History views):
- History table doesn't identify entry types (vm, missed call, etc.).
- Space opens chats, plays vm's, etc (this is good, not bad).
- Not sure what Enter does on an entry.
Contact list history (second of two History views):
- First column reads as blank but should say what's unread.
- History table doesn't identify entry types (vm, missed call, etc.).
- Enter, not Space, opens chats (inconsistent with above).
- No way to play a voicemail in this view.
Missed event tree is invisible and probably not intended to exist.
Conference panels:
- No way to hang up on a specific conference participant from the
keyboard.
Contact list:
- Contact list only shows us one table column.
- Contact cell tooltips don't read as help tags.
- Contact row repeats on frequent redraw (minor; workaround: Esc to
jump to Search text field).
There you have them, the issues of which I am aware so far. Please
write back if you know any more or if you see errors in my notes. I
am communicating with Skype developers about Mac Skype issues this
week while in Tallinn.
