I don't know if this is just specific to this project yet, or a plug in but 
I think I've determined it's something in the interplay between sonar and 
nvda since it doesn't do it withwindow-eyes.

but
1.
I open my project and let it load.
2.
go to bar 8 and make a test marker with f11.

3.
do alt-v and then s to lpen markers view.

4.
hit up and down arrows and read time and marker position and such.

5.
Try to control f4 out of the child window, and then sonar blows up.

I've tried it with different speech engines with nvda and it did it with 
espeak and sapi 4.

It did not do it with window-eyesa and tripple talk running in serial mode.

Next I'll try removing the python script and see if it's a factor or not.
