Hi Mike,
I did recently install growl, but Adium isn't set to use it for any
notifications. The other tip about turning off groups in the view menu
solved it perfectly.
For some reason, adium installs an old version of growl, but upgrading
to the latest version improved the way growl interacts with voiceover.
In fact, in the display settings there is an option to speak growl
notifications instead of showing them on screen. I have this turned on
so that if some future application doesn't have it's own option for
speaking events, I can have it use growl if that is an option.
While I'm writing, I want to thank you for your incredible series of
podcasts. Hearing you demonstrate things helped to clarify stuff that I
had read in other places. I had almost decided on a Mac already, but
your podcasts settled the issue. These files should be put together in
one place, and prominently linked on sites dealing with voiceover. It
was a coincidence that I heard about them at all, and then I had to dig
way back into the BlindCoolTech archives to get all of them.
Thanks,
Justin

Do you have growl installed? I think adium offers to install that, and
this can cause problems with voice over, if growl is installed, you
might try removing it.

Hi all,
I'm getting some strange behavior from voiceover when adium is
running. Whenever someone signs in or out, voiceover will say "row 1
expanded" as if I was working with the list of contacts. This happens
if I am not even in the adium window. The row number is different each
time, probably referring to the row that contains the group that the
contact belongs to.
I have Adium linked to my Facebook account, so I have a lot of
contacts, and they are constantly coming and going. I turned off the
audio notifications, but hearing table rows being expanded all of the
time will soon drive me to stop using Adium with facebook. Is there a
setting somewhere that can be changed to stop this? I'd prefer it to
be something I can do in Adium. Changing a voiceover verbosity setting
would lose output that may be useful in other situations. Any advice
is appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
