It may be that somehow your keyboard focus has gotten messed up. Try turning voiceover off and on again. Also, are you opening from spotlight with vo-keys or just with return. I always open items from spotlight with return only; to use vo-keys-space requires that both your voiceover cursor and your keyboard cursor be on the menu item and this isn't always the case. Finally, sometimes when i hit enter on an item in spotlight I'll hear something that makes it sounds like I'm ending up somewhere else: for instance, something about one of my menu extras. But when I arrow down in the window i am in, I find that I have indeed had Text Edit open the file.
