Hi Alex, What setting do you use to turn your screen off after a while? On further inspection of my settings I do not believe it is the screensaver that is causing this, since it wasn't set to turn on until 30 minutes of inactivity lapsed. I think it is System Preferences>Energy Saver>"Turn display off after" that is causing this. I set it to one minute, and that's about the time VO stops reading. It's interesting that this doesn't happen on your system. Maybe it is application specific; I'm testing this in Safari. I'll have to test in other apps and see if the problem persists; in the mean time I guess I'll have to keep my screen on indefinitely, or at least for quite a bit longer.
