Hello dudes and dudettes, I have something very weird happening with VoiceOver since I updated. It didn't happen for a little while, but it started happening ever since yesterday rolled around. Not sure why, since I haven't changed anything. At least, not anything I can think of.
Basically, most of the time when I interact with text in pretty much any application, VoiceOver will start reading random things. In the case of Mail, when interacting with the text area in a message I'm either composing or reading, it will start reading from top to bottom if I'm doing Option-Right arrow to go by word, regardless of the line I'm on. For example, if I'm on this exact line, it'll say: "Text. Edit. Hello dudes and dudettes, insertion after word "Dudettes," after character "Space". even though this isn't at all correct. The VoiceOver cursor is actually on this line. I see this everywhere, and it's really getting confusing when I'm trying to go by word or character. If anyone has a fix to this, please let me know, as it's starting to drive me up a tree. I also must mention that VoiceOver reports incorrectly. It says now that insertion point is after the word "Dudettes," but insertion point is after the character period, which is not in the above line at the top of the message, as it claims. It is actually a comma. This happens only when I'm interacting, and as well when I arrow down during interaction. Usually only seems to happen if I try using these methods at the beginning of current line, however. For the record, just for your information, VoiceOver doesn't actually use any punctuation in these messages when reporting this. Just placing them in the message for easier reading. Thanks, and I sincerely hope someone can help. This is making me so sad. I'm sure this might not be a big deal to most of you, but for someone like me who is his own worst critic, I re-read and re-write everything before sending it, and 'm never satisfied with my wording of phrases. As a last note, this happens on web pages as well when interacting. Also, what is interesting to note is that, for some reason, not all web pages allow you to read with the arrow keys if you want to select text. If someone knows why this is, I'd like to know. I can also provide an audio file of this on Sendspace in case this does not make any sense at all.
