The next time you find yourself stuck in the window control button area, try using Fn + VO + left or right arrow to move VO to a different part of the window.

The wayI get around it is to restart the app. If I use the tab key, i can get to some of the other items. VO however does not let me vo past the fullscreen button. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.
