I've let Apple support know about this, in fact spent many hours on the phone 
with one of their accessibility specialists, and nobody he talked to about it 
had ever heard of the issue that needed the quadruple command F5 treatment. 
Perhaps if everyone who has the problem let them know it would become a known 
issue.

Marcie, any chance you're using a MacBook Air with Lion?
