VoiceOver does, in fact, report when a new window is introduced. The problem is, when something like force quitting applications takes place, the focus is taken away from the application and one can make the mistake of assuming there is no more "force quit" window open. The other instance is, upon waking a computer from sleep or booting up, depending on the system settings, some tasks happen automatically in the background and one needs to be aware of checking these things from time to time. Let me point out also that this is only an issue when it's necessary to perform modified clicks. Normally, one need not concern themselves with such things. Pro Tools is one of the few applications that calls for modified clicks. Still, hopefully, they'll fix it eventually. Until then, cover your asses, err, arses ;)
