Hi Travis,
Interestingly, vo seems to be detcting something amis so instead of being
eternally busy for instance, perhaps it could just try to repair what it is
looking at or provide what it has perhaps on demand as you suggest.

My guess is that, although vo doesn't show a virtual view of the pages
to us, it does maintain such an internal view for it's own use.
I'd figure that somewhere during the page loading process, vo gets
slightly confused on what's coming in, and it simply doesn't know what
to do with itself.
But, since it thinks it saw everything coming in, it believes there's
nothing there, because it didn't see it.
Compilers do this when punctuation is mismatched, it will sometimes
think that you're typing in an extremely long string, until it either
reaches max length, or finds what it thinks is the closing punctuation
mark.
I've had cases where c didn't point out my missing closing quote for
several hundred lines. Admittedly, these kinds of issues are rare,
but they are extremely hard to debug, and I'd guess something like
that is happening here (not the missing punctuation) but the vo
thinking it received something it didn't, or vice versa.
And, as a result, it gets confused as to what it is seeing as opposed
to what it should be seeing.
If there was some way to force vo to reparce the data it has already
received, this problem might be fixable simply by telling it to
reaxmine what's on the screen.
Of course, it's not really that simple, but basically, that's the idea.
If apple could provide us some method of refreshing the vo view of the
current page content, wed be able to eliminate these kinds of errors.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how hard something like this would be
for apple to do, but if it could be done, it would fix the issue nicely.
