Hi,
System dialogs are only accessed through the Application Chooser, VO-f1-f1.

As ET said, either application or window chooser, but I notice he didn’t tell
you what keystrokes. VO plus F1 twice for application window, vo plus F2 twice
for window chooser.

I get this problem at least twice a month and don't even really use
skype. I think it might be some kind of alert about the battery dying
in the keyboard or trackpad for bluetooth. The only way I can get the
annoying announcement to go away is by restarting the computer. would

Well my eset cyber security always has a system dialog but that shows up in
either the window chooser or the application chooser or both.

With Skype and other apps, the system dialog is sometimes related to if you
have Growl installed. So, if there is an event in Skype, such as a contact
going on line or off line, you will get a growl notification that visually
appears for a few seconds. At least, I've had it happen with a
Hi Ray,
You might try a VO click on it. It may have gone out of focus because of a
blank screen or screen-saver. Try VO-shift-space wherever you happen to be and
see if it comes back.

Thanks. Thing is, I believe it happens while screen saver is envoked.
Funny thing is, this never happened prior to the 10.8.2 build.

Press vo-F1 twice to open the application chooser menu. One of which
should be a system dialog menu. Open that and you should see the title
of the application containing the system dialog.

Yeah, I had an elusive system dialog sitting around here for a while and could
never seem to access it. I knew the update for 10.8.2 had been recently
announced so I decided to manually look for it through the app store and after
applying that, I haven't seen that dialog anymore. I'll have to
Well, if it helps, just now, I noticed that when my contacts do things on Skype
that trigger Grouel alerts, Voice over seems to entirely loose focus no matter
what I'm doing or what ever app I'm in; mail for example. Just now, before I
even got in to mail, I noticed that a Grouel alert was
Now I might be wrong but I believe that it is a small pop up window that gives
us the name of the contact visually.. They go away only after a few seconds. By
the time you switch to Skype and hit the window chooser it has already gone
away.
Personaly I find that hearing if a contact has gone
Yes, you are absolutely right, this happened to me a few times. As you have
pointed out,
I had to press command f5 a few times to activate the voice over.

Hi,
Usually you can get out of this by simply pressing VO-shift-d to take you to
the Desktop.

I too can confirm this. More over, voiceOver is hanging up several times a day
and I need to press command-f5 four times to recover. Lastly the Safari busy
problem abounds. So, IMHO 10.6.6 is the least stable in my short time running
MacOS.

Hmmm, I've been running 10.6.6 since the release and I'm not having any of the
issues you both refer too. I only use the voices included with the Mac, but not
sure this matters.

Yes apparently I'm very lucky since I have not had any problems with system
dialogs and I sure don't have problems with VOiceOver crashing. Yep, I'm very
lucky indeed.

The system dialog is usually a fairly important message.

It seems to happen when you type or just press keys too fast. For example,
Voiceover will just stop talking sometimes when I'm arrowing through files and
