J.J.,
I took a quick look because I knew this would be a simple app. The only
thing I can come up with is you aren't hooking the OnHotkey. Let me
start by saying I've never seen this fail...but if I change your
OnHotkey to always return False (meaning I just changed your OnHotkey =
True to OnHotkey = False) it still always works. So the Quit will shut
down Window-Eyes even if the shutdown dialog comes up. So Quit can't be
called when it fails.
Do we know when it fails if it says"existing"? My guess is that it is
not saying this because your quickQuit never gets called in the case it
doesn't work. So either your script isn't running properly or they
tried to shut down before it was fully running or somebody else is
eating the hotkey...
For those playing at home here is the code that does the work. It is
very simple. Oh, by the way, I don't like that your OnHotkey function
doesn't set the return value explicitly to False if the hotkey isn't the
shutdown hotkey and isBeforeAction is true. VSScript is letting you get
away with this by defaulting the return value to 0 which is false.
Consider yourself flogged.
ConnectEvent Application, "OnHotkey", "OnHotkey"
Function OnHotkey(hotkeyId, isBeforeAction, defaultActionAborted)
if hotkeyId = hkShutdownWindowEyes and isBeforeAction then
quickQuit
OnHotkey = True
end if
end function
sub quickQuit()
Speak myStrings("exiting")
sleep 10000
Quit
end sub

Hello. This is currently a known issue which has been reported, but
I'm not able to reliably figure out exactly what is going wrong. Work
take another look at this soon, and of course, anyone else is welcome
to look at the code too.

After installing WE 7.5.1, I had that same issue.
Just restarting the Quick Quit app, or restarting Window-Eyes took
care of the problem for me.

Hi:
I'm using the latest version of window-eyes, v7.5.1.
When using the quick quit app, latest version I think given that
I've just installed the upgrade to quickly change screen access
technologies, I still sometimes get the quit window-Eyes Dialog
appearing. Has anyone else observed this?
If yes, does anyone know of a fix?
Cheers
Sean.
