Hi Elena, We are interested in fixing up voiceover support. Growl 2 was released without consideration for voiceover because of a few problems that needed to be addressed, and simply put we just haven't done it yet.
If you could provide a list of any other issues with Growl or any of our other applications with voiceover, we'd appreciate it.
