If I had an example I could poke at it to find out what they did but I commonly see fake links made out of text that triggers some javascript and doesn't really link to another page. That could be why the contextual menu is not working normally.

Hi,
I have noticed tat sometimes the shortcut menu does not work for some links but have4 not found a reproducible situation I could report to apple.

I can just say that when you are on a link and hold down option and press enter it should download it. THe way to know if it does is to press command option l while in safari and tab to downloads list. OR go to your downloads folder and see if it is there. If this does not work I have no idea why. hth

I have two somewhat related questions here.

1. I've noticed that some links identified by VO as normal links, will
not yield the typical context menu when I press Shift-VO-m; I just get
the menu with 5 items and are all full page related.  But other links
on the same page do work properly and will yield something like 9
items with the typical link related choices.  The links that are
giving me trouble are in a list from what I can tell.  This is on the
Best Buy page describing the new accessible HD radio; I'm using Lion
10.7.4 along with latest Safari browser.

2. The links I refer to in item #1 point to a .pdf file but I can't
seem to download it.  If I hit any of the enhancement keys like Shift,
Option, or Command, plus the Return key, it just opens the PDF in a
previewer.  I have the Safari preference to open files after download
Unchecked so I should be able to download this PDF somehow.

Any answers to either of these questions? What might I be missing here?
