Hi Alex, I believe you may be seeing an issue where the heading you marked is no longer visible.
When a hotspot moves out of the visible screen area or somehow becomes invisible, VoiceOver can no longer move to it. So no, hotspots are not broken. One just needs to understand that these are based on visual screen layout. Arguably this may not be the best or easiest approach for the average blind / visually impaired user, but this is what we have for the moment. Perhaps a spoken message letting the user know that the particular hotspot has moved out of visual range may be in order. Hope this helps and have a great night!

Now, though, I don't know if I should. Here's what i did to try out hotspots: 1. I went to an open page in Safari, navigated to a heading partway down it, and pressed vo-shift-1. 2. I hit vo-left a few times, then vo-1, and was taken to my spot. Great. 3. I moved to the top of the page, tabbed a couple times, and hit vo-1. Nothing at all happened. 4. I pressed vo-1 again, chose my spot from the Hotspots menu, and nothing happened. 5. I hit vo-cmd-1, and was told the hotspot no longer exists. Did I do it wrong? I try hotspots every so often, and each time I remember why I never use them... I'd love to know I'm wrong and that they work great, but they seem like a broken and neglected feature to me. Thanks for any input. I did try Web Spots, and they didn't break immediately. However, I really like that hotspots are associated with numbers; web spots require you to move through a list sequentially, right? Are there major problems with web spots as well, or do they work reliably? -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
