Hi there,
I have encountered somewhat of an anomalous bug in voiceover which I hope
someone can either identify or suggest methods of troubleshooting around this,
for I have done everything from reinstalling Mac, resetting screen settings but
to no avail.
The problem: IN content areas (identified as HTML content areas) within
applications such as Skype and Adium, the chat log window is displayed. There
may be a broader reach to this issue, but at this point it is these two
applications that I have encountered. When I am sitting in the window and I
receive or send a message, at some point in that exchange whether it be at the
first message, the 3rd or 10th message, voiceover will suddenly stop
recognising new messages coming in the content area. I am unsure as to whether
it is appearing on the screen itself, but I do believe it is for Adium is set
to speak incoming messages, which it successfully does. However, on receiving
all these messages spoken by the application through the system voice,
voiceover cannot identify them within the content area. The messages already
displayed within the content are are not affected, simply ones from a certain
point. The only way to make the missed messages appear, is to close the window
completely and re-open it. That is, to click the "close button" and then find
the contact in the contacts list to open it once more.
If anyone has any insight on this issue, I would be most appreciative. if not,
for any recommendations on how I might proceed in rectifying this; is it
possible to contact apple for trouble shooting assistance for such an
inhibbiting problem?
Cheers,
Hayden
