Ian,
I’m not sure I’d wait. I installed the new OS two days ago & my late 2015 iMac
is running better than it ever has! Responsiveness is snappy & everything is
going like gang-busters. And, I’m usually pretty slow to upgrade, because I’m
the guy that all the strange things happens to. Anyway, if your machine isn’t
@ the bottom of the spec-sheet, then I’d think a clean install might do the
trick. But, I feel for you. It’s a pain when your machine isn’t working well
& it’s impacting your day-to-day experience/
Good luck,
CJ

100% agree, don’t let my experience dissuade anyone, I don’t think my
problems are universal. If the next incrimental update doesn’t inprove things
for me I’ll try a clean install.

hmmm, I am not having most of these problems. I think it is a very
individual thing based maybe on your various settings so I think people just
have to decide for themselves whether or not to upgrade unless a serious
pretty universal problem is reported.

At this point I’d recommend no to the update. I’m experiencign a lot of busy
notifications, and Voiceover jumping out of areas I’m engaged with, not
staying the list of messages in Mail, Interacting with dialogues in
Reminders against my will etc. They are minor annoyances, but if feels like
things were getting smoother and now they’re rougher.
As always, I’m prepared to hearing it’s just me, and everyone else is having
a grand time.

Be sure you have Apple script turned on in VO preferences, plus keyboard
commander enabled of course. No idea why they’d get changed with an
upgrade, but worth a look. Mine also works.

Hi Ian,
The right Option key + T still gives me the date and time in Mojave.

I’ve been running Mojave since it came out, and I haven’t noticed
anything specific to accessibility. I haven’t figured out how to work
the desktop organization functions touted in the release, so no clue if
they work with Voiceover.
One thing I’ve lost is the Control T script to rsay the date and time.
The key describer says its supposed to run the script, but nothing
happens. I haven’t found anything on line that restores or replaces
this. If anyone has that answer I’d be happy to hear it.
Up until yesterday I was getting a lot of busy indications, and programs
not being responsive. Since they abandoned the ability to repair
permissions, which often fixed this way back when, I didn’t have any
recourse but a full shut down everything and restart. So far I havne’t
noticed the busy beast rearing its head.
It looks like access to tables in the Notes app is a little better, but
I hadn’t relied on that function in Notes. The reading of attachment
names for files you paste into an email is back, but I don’t think
that’s a reason to upgrade.
Keith had some concerns about access to apps running under a 32 bit
architecture, I’m not finding any of those legacy apps on my machine
though.
One other thing to note, the widgets dashboard, the one accessed with
F12, or FN F12 is disabled by default, if you use that quite a bit, like
if you have a kid in French immersion school and need a quick
translation to find out what his teacher wrote on his homework, then
it’s handy to have that option easy to access. Running Dashboard from
the Applications folder in Finder restored it.

Hi:
