VO keys locked after enabling Trackpad Commander

Category
VoiceOver Commanders
Severity
Moderate

Description

When you enable the Trackpad Commander with vo-clockwise rotor, no other gestures will have an effect until you press the VO keys again. Until you do, it seems that VoiceOver thinks its modifiers are still pressed down, because any other rotor gesture will try to toggle the Trackpad Commander again, and other gestures will fail entirely. Pressing keys will try to run commands as though the key were accompanied by the VO keys.
