Brian, Oops, sorry for not being entirely clear. VO needs to be on but the trackpad commander should be turned off. Yes, you are correct, when doing all this Dragging and Dropping stuff that we've been fighting with, the trackpad commander DOES need to be turned off. So, with VO on, the trackpad commander off, move with VO to some item on your Desktop, make sure that mouse focus is on that item as well, then use the trackpad to do a double-click the trackpad like a sighted person would. Not the double-tap like VO users use when using the trackpad commander or on an iOS device, an actual double-click.
Let me know what things do. thanks for your help. Later...
