Ok, Firstly, it seems,my scientific method is sorely lacking at 1 am so several dispirit conditions lead me to make incorrect and in retrospect, ludicrous assumptions regarding issues I'm having in Mountain Lion on my 2011 mbp. There are issues but on further investigation, they are different than I thought.
There are issues that come and go such as previously mentioned inability to expand or unexpand threaded message trees which coincides with an inability to drag and drop interacted mailboxes into the favourites menu bar. I am still unable to move or remove items from within the favourites bar at any time. The issue that was so confusing me I have a feeling is related as it too comes and goes but again, I'll save my assumptions until I'm smart enough to test them properly. At times, when switching between finder folders with command ` or command ~ the title of the window isn't spoken but rather the first item in the window or at times, the previous window. This combined with the expanded/unexpanded status on items being spoken within the tables in said windows, I would copy items, command ` to another window of a sub folder, paste them with option command v and then on going back to the window with the parent folder, would search to make sure the items were moved, i.e., no longer in the folder but not be able to here that the sub folder was expanded so go down to the files in the sub folder still thinking i was in the parent folder. . At the same time as either the mail issues or the finder issues happen, selecting consecutive items or using the vo command space method to select nonconsecutive items speaks number of items selected but no name and vo f6 tells me no or 1 item selected. It's the on again off again nature of this strange combination of issues that I find most surprising. It's like when an invisible window would turn up in windows and stuff up JFW or a particular combination of windows covering others is blocking some important status information so voiceover can't find it. but then just go away with out any obvious reason. change Anyway, regardless it doesn't matter as no one can expect a brand new OS to be perfect and now I know what is happening, I can take more time and care and avoid this causing me to break things any more. <smile> Sorry for the waffling posts but thought it worth mentioning in case anyone else ends up with similar issues down the track.
