Interesting, I did some investigating, and found that quick nav was in fact on. That was why my submenus were not working properly. Interesting that turning voiceover off and then back on does not cancel out quick nav mode. You have to hit the left and right arrows to get out of it. It's a bit hard to know you're in quick nav sometimes though, because the voiceover keys still work as normal, so I had forgotten I turned it on earlier. Old habits die hard I guess.
As a side note, does anybody know how to speed up the voice that reads the Ichat incoming messages? Changing the system voice settings doesn't seem to do it.
