Hi:
Alt+F4 means to close/kill the currently focused window. The magnifier
really isn't a window that gets focus, so pressing Alt+F4 will kill the
window that has focus (e.g., your e-mail application, like I just did
when I couldn't remember what Alt+F4 did).
Killing the magnifier is similar to killing speech: you need to exit
Orca or tell Orca to stop magnifying the window.
