Hi Tim, Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I remember reading about VO focus bugs when 18 came out, but for whatever reason, I only just started experiencing them myself either with the last 18.1 or the 18.2 update. I can’t remember exactly when it started, because the first couple of times, I just thought it was a fluke. Anyway, I will definitely try your suggestion next time. I’ve tried turning VO on and off, but I hadn’t tried swiping to another page while VO was off. Cheers, Donna
