All. It appears that we need to identify some good troubleshooting tips on Safari when we get these strange issues. Such as: Web site, download link, version of OS, period of time you waited before reloading the page or Voice-Over. ETC.
I do not think this is an hardware issue. It seems to be more a software problem. You have to remember that there is a lot of events triggering inside safari and Voice-Over. If they get out of sync, strange behaviours can occur. Identifying the pattern and sequences this occurs will assist the Apple folks. I am not sure if the development tools of Safari will ell as well. So what I suggest if the issue occurs for you again. write up the steps that you used to get to the page and what you used to resolve it. By doing this, then others can try to reproduce it. For example: Mac Mountain Lion Mac Version: xx.xx.xx. Using default safari options. 1. Perform a google search using "Australian High Schools". 2. Pressed vo cmd h to jump to the first search item. 3. Pressed enter to load the page. 4. Waited 60 secs for the page to load. 5. Press vo u to bring up the roter options and saw no links, headers or elements on page. 6. Pressed escape to exit roter. 7. Navigated page with vo right arrow and saw headers. 8. Press cmd r to refresh page and repeated step 5. Everything worked fine. This type of information will assist in narrowing down the problem. It could be the method being used in using safari. Note, the above is an example only.
