On-screen Braille when no Braille display is connected

2014-10-23 Thread Andy Collins
Hi all -

Although there is no Braille display connected to my Mac, Braille is still 
being displayed on-screen. I have been using a display, but now even after 
several reboots, I can’t get rid of this issue. I don’t know it’s there, VO 
isn’t reporting anything, but to those with eyes, Braille symbols are displayed 
somewhere on the screen all of the time.

Anybody know what is going on here and how to resolve it. It is having an 
effect on the Mac’s performance, as it freezes at times, and gets stuck in busy 
mode. I’d really like to do a clean install with Yosemite, but am nervous about 
that, having never done it before, and not knowing the complete steps -

Hi,

Did you try disconnecting by putting Voiceover in Braille mode?

I’m not sure I understand you. How do I put Vo in to Braille mode? -
