Hey Victor,
I would imagine it's one of those things that, currently, there's no option
for in the OS. For example, if you turn the screen brightness down to 0
percent and reboot, the brightness will always automatically increase to a
minimum value upon startup. I guess it would be useful for a sighted person
when logging in or whatever. I guess the assumption was made that, no matter
what, a sighted person would be totally lost if visuals were hidden, the
screen curtain was on or the screen brightness was zero upon startup. All of
which, of course, wouldn't matter to a blind person but...
Cheers.

Subject: Anybody knows how to make visuals hide by default?
In my various tests I've discovered that Voiceover visuals interfere with
features needed by "visuals", meaning sighted people. It seems though that
every time VO starts, visuals, such as VO frame, are displayed on the
screen. It is easy to verify because right after VO's start, you can hide
them by pressing CTRL+OPTION+F11.
I went into VO pannel, disabled everything relevant I could think of, but
visuals still come up every time I start VO.
Thoughts?
