Hello all, To make a long story short, there is a website and discussion forum which I must routinely use for a distance education course. When navigating to the page where I can post new discussion topics, VO would crash and restart whenever I navigated to the region where I could enter the topic title and message. For example, using VO+RIGHT ARROW or using the TAB KEY would work fine until I hit that particular region on the page, after which VO would restart and Safari would hang for several seconds, after which I still would not be at the right spot. I created a new, temporary user account for testing purposes, and the issue did not occur in the other account. The website worked fine.
After doing a whole host of troubleshooting, including resetting VoiceOver’s preferences in my original user account, I discovered that the problem appears to be with my “navigate images” setting. I like to have this set to “with descriptions”, but this seemed to be the root of the problem. When I change the setting to “always”, the website works fine, even in my original user account. If I change the setting back to “with descriptions”, the crashing consistently resumes. Just thought I’d pass this along. I was getting ready to pull out all the stops and reinstall from scratch, but the solution was a very simple one. It seems that it would be a good idea to test the stability of Safari on important websites after making any customizations to VO’s web preferences.
