Let me see if I can give an example:
Let’s say I want to go in to system preferences, I do VO M that pulls up the 
Apple menu. I arrow down to system prefs, at this point I hit VO space, nothing 
happens unless I press return. Once in system preferences, I interact with 
scroll area, and if I want to activate general only space will do so.
I will check the cursor settings in VoiceOver Utility/ navigation..
Thank you.
