Hi folks, I upgraded to Snow Leopard Friday from Leopard, on my two year old Macbook.
I did not do a clean install. I installed over Leopard after doing a backup with Time Machine. Everything seemed ok except I kept getting "stuck" in the dock, but that issue seems to have resolved itself after I realized the dock had changed a little with the upgrade. The main thing I'm noticing now is that quite suddenly on certain websites, I cannot enter text in a text edit field. I couldn't even enter text to search the archives here. Then suddenly, it'll be fine. One time, just turning on my wireless keyboard allowed me to type in a text edit field. This is only in Safari. No other applications are effected. I have tried the following: Turned off VO then had my sighted boyfriend use the mouse curser to get to a spot I could not type in, and he was able to enter text. When I turned VO back on, I could read what he typed and delete it and type there. After that I realized if I restart VO, I can type. But I might go to another page and not be able to. Since my boyfriend was able to enter text, I thought it must be a VO issue. I restored VO back to its factory settings and that did not solve the issue. The mouse curser is turned off. I tried unchecking "Voiceover follows keyboard focus" and vice versa, in Voiceover utility but this did nothing. I had some funky issues with VO before the upgrade, like it never kept my rate setting after waking the computer. At one point, Alex wouldn't even talk for the longest time after waking, so I turned him off before putting the computer to sleep every time. Those issues have stopped with the upgrade. Sometimes now, after the upgrade, when I restart VO, it wants to walk me through using it. I have to press V to shut it up. This isn't every time though, only after waking it. If I do it multiple times, it doesn't ask me to learn it, only the first time I might restart after starting VO. >From everyone I've talked to, it's looking like a clean install would be best. I'd like to avoid that if possible, but I'm finding nothing about any of this. Another suggestion was to create another user and see if the issues are in that user also, but I think that might be redundant now since I just restored VO and basically, that's what creating a new user would do. Is this crazy? Any suggestions? Thoughts? Help? Haha...thanks in advance... PS - Aside from this, Snow Leopard is pretty freaking cool. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
