Look in the Tab pane of Safari preferences. There is a popup button that seems to default to opening pages in tabs. You have to change that to, never, I believe. Take Care John D. Panarese Director Mac for the Blind Tel, (631) 724-4479 Email, j...@macfortheblind.com Website,

Sometimes, you have to actually navigate after you open the new lonk. In other words, you don't get any indication the new window has opened, but it has done so. For example, after logging into the BARD website seems to do this for me. Take Care John D. Panarese Director Mac for the

What do you mean by navigate? Moving around the page shows the same page I was on before, vo-f2 reports the same title, and I see no new windows or tabs when I explore the rest of the Safari window. On Sep 13, 2012, at 1:50 PM, John Panarese jpanar...@gmail.com wrote: Sometimes, you have to

Hmm. This is strange. If you stop interacting and then interact again, does that change the page. I have never encountered this. Take Care John D. Panarese Director Mac for the Blind Tel, (631) 724-4479 Email, j...@macfortheblind.com Website, http://www.macfortheblind.com APPLE

It does not. That's part of what I tried; I stopped interacting and moved around the rest of the window, thinking that the new page had opened but had not been switched to. When I returned to the html content, it was still the same. On Sep 13, 2012, at 2:41 PM, John Panarese jpanar...@gmail.com

I did not try toggling vo, but I believe I did restart safari. Aside from this, both are working as expected. Also, a sighted person confirmed yesterday that nothing at all happened when I activated the link that was supposed to open a new window. On Sep 13, 2012, at 4:39 PM, John Panarese

Well, toggling vo did not seem to do anything. I did, however, get it to work by routing the mouse cursor to the vo cursor and using vo-shift-space. This sounds like a website problem rather than an apple problem, tbhough I'll keep a close eye on it now that I know what I'm looking for. On Sep
