A few troubleshooting questions,
Are you able to go to your dock using VO D? If yes, what is showing up thre?
When you close out of an application, are you using command W or command Q? W
closes windows but leaves the application open, Q quits the application.
You can also use force quit, that is found in the Apple menu, or with the hot
key command option escape. Usually you use this if an application is stuck and
completely not responding.
Another way to check open applications is to hold VO and hit F1 twice, this
will bring up an application chooser and give you status updates and options.

Hi everybody hope you’re all doing well, I hope my message comes through.
Even if somebody cannot answer my question could you please confirm if this
message has come through. The reason I ask this before I get to my initial
question is that I sent another email to this list thanking Ian for all the
help with iMovie and asking questions about an external hard drive and I did
not get any replies. From my very little Time on this list I have experienced
much help from all of you and I appreciate it so much, this is why it seems
strange to me that nobody replied to my thank you and question about the
external hard drive. I assume my message did not go through. Anyhow I got my
external hard drive issue solved. My thank you was to Ian for helping me with
iMovie. It took me a while to play with iMovie and follow Ian’s instructions
quite a few times messing it up, and finally I got success. I also found that
iMovie on the iPhone was very simple to use. The only thing on iMovie on the
iPhone that was not accessible was editing text on a background. You have to
click the word edit on the text background which voiceover does not see. I
had to turn voiceover off get a sighted person to click the word edit which
brings up the keyboard and then I turned voiceover back on and I was able to
delete the text that is inserted automatically on the background and type in
what I wanted.
Anyhow here is my new question. I have a 27 inch iMac late 2013 running
Catalina. This is what is happening, I open Safari do my business and close
it. I open text edit create a new document, type in what I want, save it,
close it. I open email check my messages etc. close it. Even though all my
windows are closed, voiceover says text edit. But text edit is closed. When I
cycle through applications to see if maybe I forgot to close text edit I hear
text edit, mail, Safari, etc. Nothing is open but yet voiceover is telling me
that all these things are there however when I stop on an individual app it
tells me for example safari has no windows. I bring up the application
chooser and it tells me five items. I Arrow down the items and I hear
voiceover saying Safari, mail, TextEdit, QuickTime player, etc. when I click
on any one of these it tells me zero items. How can I clear this? This is
very annoying if I am on the Mac for a while this accumulates too many items
being spoken that I have closed. Does anybody have any idea what’s going on
and how I can fix this? Thank you for any help in advance
