Hello all: I'm getting the same problem here as well. I've got two third party items in my status bar. The first is the dropbox icon and the second is the icon for 1Password Mini. If I Vo+Space on Dropbox I get the window opening sound and hear the word "app" which is then cut off. The window closes too fast for the screen reader to render the message. If I press Vo+Space on the 1Password Mini icon I get the 1Password dialog where I can enter my master password. So it seems like the problem is with the DropBox application and not with the OS.
