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.

Subject: Re: Menu bar issue resolved but it brings up a larger issue



Hi Jeff,

Though I do not have an immediate answer to your immediate question, I have a 
question regarding your question.

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.

Hello,



I posted yesterday about an issue I was having with Google Drive’s Extra Menu 
item not working when clicked. 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
