Thanks! I actually did some playing around and found that last night. I should have written in to say it was fixed. It doesn't seem to have fixed it globally, but now I know how to fix it if I need to. I also unchecked date added, and that made it behave almost exactly the way it used to.

Here is how to get rid of it. Open any folder where this is happening, my guess is the home folder. Open view preferences by pressing Command-J. Uncheck the check box for "Kind". It's interesting that if you are looking at a folder, VoiceOver will say "folder". But if "kind" is checked, it will show you visually that it is a folder, which VoiceOver will then say "folder" a second time. Probably not a bug, but does seem a little odd.

It says the file name, then what type of document it is, then the date info, and then what type of file it is again. I've looked through verbosity settings, and can't seem to find anything to fix this problem. > It could be that my short term memory is even more pitiful than usual, > and this is the way it's always read, but I don't think so.
