No, I'm not using alt+down arrow, I'm pressing alt (alt+space doesn't work in Winamp, but pressing alt by itself brings up the same menu), pressing down arrow until I get to the minimize item, then hitting enter. Windows+m does minimize Winamp without loss of speech, but then I minimize any other apps also running.
Here's something else I've just discovered that seems odd, perhaps related to the minimize issue. If I press alt+f, arrow down to bookmarks, right arrow to expand the submenu, arrow to any of the items listed, and hit enter, I again suffer the same loss of speech. It's almost like the script doesn't like my using Winamp's menus or something. Didn't have this behavior with the previous script either. I've successfully duplicated both issues on two different machines. -----Original Message----- From: Chip Orange [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2009 12:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: we script 1.3 issues Hi Jasen, maybe this is just a typo, but you seemed to say you were using alt-down arrow to minimize winamp. while I don't use winamp, I've never seen alt-down arrow minimize an application. is this something special to winamp? if it's not special to winamp, could this keystroke mean something to the script, be a hotkey for it, and that's the problem? could you try minimizing the winamp window a different way; say with the windows key plus M command, which minimizes all windows? or even by pressing alt-spacebar and then finding the minimize choice from the menu that pops up? hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission [email protected] (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Symes [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 11:19 PM > To: 'gw-info' > Subject: we script 1.3 issues > > Hi all.
