I even tried it in another editor (SubEtha Edit) and it did the same thing. So VO is getting confused consistently. Apparently it's the triple-bracket that makes VO silent. The following is a simpler example that also fails:

This is some [[[secret]]] text.

I have the word "secret" in triple brackets and VO says nothing when I move focus there. Text Edit does the same thing. So this appears to be a pretty low-level bug.

That's weird, but it makes sense that VO is confused. I can verify it. I can read character by character and it shows up, though.

Hi all,
I've noticed something really odd lately, and I'd like to see if anyone can confirm it. Below is a line of code. You don't need to know Objective-C or anything; the oddity is that VO is skipping text. Specifically, the bit that says [[self solitaireModel] isDiscardStackRole] is omitted entirely. I recommend you set punctuation to "most" before continuing. Here's the line:

[self setDiscardStack:[[AITCardStack alloc] initWithRoles:@[[[self solitaireModel] isDiscardStackRole]]]];

I assume you read that line by line, or all at once in a say-all. Go back and examine it word by word, or character by character, and see if there isn't a part near the end that VO skipped over entirely. I can reproduce this with any voice, and I'm starting to wonder if the brackets are getting VO confused. On the Mac, in-line speech commands are surrounded by double brackets, and I think the speech manager that lets VO talk might be getting mixed up.
