Hi list,

Am I right that selecting text in Preview no longer works, or no longer works 
as well, in Yosemite? I was just getting used to doing it in Mavericks with 
VO-return, and now it seems to be broken.

Open a text-based PDF in Preview;
Press VO-return to start selection;
Use VO keys to navigate by word or line to choose which text is selected;
Whether you now press command-c, or first stop selecting with VO-return and 
then press command-c, the system plays an error sound and nothing is copied to 
clipboard. Using VO-F6 VoiceOver announces that one word is selected, not the 
desired text.

This is a shame as selecting text previously worked so well. I do love the 
search feature in Preview, however. Not sure if it is new to Yosemite, as I 
never tried it before. One of the cool things about the Preview search feature 
rather than using VO-f is that the Preview search feature announces on what 
page each of the search results is. This can be great for citation/referencing 
purposes.
