I’ve noticed a couple of bugs with VoiceOver and AppleScript dialog boxes since upgrading to Yosemite, and am interested whether anyone else has noticed the same thing.
First, VoiceOver sometimes does not announce that the dialog box has appeared. It used to be that a system sound would indicate that the dialog box has appeared, and VoiceOver would then read the title and message of the dialog. Now, there is no system sound and VoiceOver does not announce the title or message, at least not for the first dialog. If the script has a number of dialogs, VoiceOver will announce the second and subsequent dialogs, but not the first. However, this bug appears to be inconsistent and sometimes doesn’t appear. One work around would be for me to re-write the scripts to specifically tell VoiceOver to announce the dialog, but it would be much simpler if we had the old behaviour. The second is that VoiceOver will not echo the text typed in the dialog. This might actually be part of a wider problem, as I’ve had issues with VoiceOver echo in other apps. The text is types, and VoiceOver will read it if you navigate with the VO keys, but VoiceOver will not echo the characters or words as they are typed and will not announce the text the cursor passes when navigating with arrow keys alone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
