Good timing. I had a weird Adium issue as well. At least I think I traced it to Adium. Once in a while VoiceOver would start saying "Row 1 expanded." Over and over again. It started driving me nuts. I quit Adium and the problem stopped. I guess row 1 refers to the contact list? Has anyone else wrestled with this issue and overcame it? I dig Adium but I have to fix that. It seems like it could use a few little accessibility tweaks, but I enjoyed it while it worked except for that.
