What do you mean by making the screen saver longer? Since I do not want my Mac to sleep, if I will be away from it for a period of time, I invoke the screen saver. Whatever changed happened between Sierra updates I am pretty sure. Also hear this pesky message twice when I cold boot.

Disabling cursor tracking is nice. How to apply this so tracking remains on while reducing the repetition. Hmmm.

  I have seen the truth and it makes no sense.

I know what you mean by the first, and I believe folks indicated that if
you make the screen saver features very long that it will go away.

The second issue I have experienced and played with a bit but didn't
figure out. What I did notice is that if you turn off cursor tracking
with VO F3 then it only speaks once. I wonder if there is an option to
speak the item with focus at a different speed or pitch? I rarely go to
the desktop anymore now that folders that are in the dock work better
with VoiceOver.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Jonathan,
  Not sure which element is involved. At some point, in between
updates, when I invoked the screensaver, VO would announce
"Screensaver something". Then something changed and now announces
"Authentication has new Window".

  Another issue that no one seems to have seen is, every time I close
Finder, VO announces the item in focus on the desktop not once but 3
times.

  I exported the VO settings in VO Utility then restored to defaults.
No change. I sure do not want to do a third clean install.

If you go into the custom area of verbosity, not only can you adjust for
each type of element, but you can adjust the order of Name, Type State
for elements.

Best wishes,

 Is there any way to dial back some of Voiceover's verbosity? Can
this be addressed by setting custom levels in VO Utility?
