Re: some random crashing with voiceover

ok, i just typed rm -rf com.apple.Voiceover* in a terminal prompt and then turned off voiceover then hit enter. now, all I need to do is redo some of my preferences. I especially don't like the repeat every key pressed. it slows down my typing. g. -eric On Jul 11, 2017, at 7:31 PM, Jonatha

Re: some random crashing with voiceover

ok. I was afraid of that. clearing out voiceover prefs while the client is still running can be a bit problematic. oh well, it's gotta be done anyway. -eric On Jul 11, 2017, at 7:31 PM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > I don't think the crash has anything to do with spotlight. > It sounds like the speech

Re: some random crashing with voiceover

I don't think the crash has anything to do with spotlight. It sounds like the speech synthesizer controller might have crashed (macintalk). I read the log as after the VO crash something was trying to check if there were fixes for the crash and failed to be able to do the search. Perhaps being

some random crashing with voiceover

hello all, I have been seeing increasingly random crashes with voiceover on my old mac system here over the last few months. It's an older whitebook using OS X Lion (no I don't have anything newer here and couldn't afford it if I wanted to). here are the relevant lines from console: 7/11/17 1:

Re: leaving combo boxes with nothing selected?

Hi Jonathan, Thank you, that did it. I don't know why, but I absolutely never think to turn cursor tracking off, and it can be so handy. Cheers, Donna > On Jul 11, 2017, at 9:45 AM, Jonathan Cohn wrote: > > Donna, > > I suggest turning off cursor tracking and navigating the form with VO > co

Re: leaving combo boxes with nothing selected?

Re: SOme mail makes Voiceover Crash.

leaving combo boxes with nothing selected?

Hi all, I'm working with a search form on a website. I want to leave the fields that are combo boxes with no option selected, but VO or Safari seems to insist on selecting something. Does anyone know if there is a way to unselect an item so that I can leave that field blank? Thanks, Donna --
