The bug seems to be fixed in the latest betas. Also, it happened in numbers, pages and... Any app really. To add to that, this bug report should be edited. If your using email, safari, yes the bug only happens sometimes.Use numbers though as an example and... I kid you not, you cant go 20 cells without getting the bug; multiple times. And that's assuming you get lucky and voiceover sound actually comes back; you'll have to restart mac if voiceover doesn't announce its on again because it completely stopps making sound. But yeah seems to be fixed in latest betas.
