Yeah, this is the part that is confusing to me. I am unsure if the icons are not visible but VO is seeing them or what is going on here. All know is that multiple icons can not be clicked if you have to many but VO sees them.

Was the menu issue within the OS itself or did it have to do strictly with voiceover? Why would the OS allow for more menu items than voiceover could read? That makes no sense. Has this always been an issue? I hope it does not mean the decline of accessibility within the Mac software.

This turned out to be an issue with to many items on the Menu bar. Meaning, after closing a number of items it worked. This brings up a couple of things. While VoiceOver does see items they can’t be clicked if to many items exist on the menu bar. This is also true of clicking them on the Magic Track Pad. I tried BarTender which is an app that allows you to control icons that appear but it has a number of accessibility issues with it and so far the vendor/author hasn’t been to responsive to email messages. Has anyone else found any other alternatives that work well and that are VO friendly? Jeff -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
