Hello Anne, I agree that one can have the impression you described below.
Fortunately There are no issues concerning german umlauts, not yet on the Mac. There are issues in iOS. Since version 6 VO can't read umlauts anymore and nothing happened so far to solve it. Yes I've already tried to play with the cursor settings, without any success. Once a member of the accessibility team told me they changed the pdf engine of Preview what could cause the issues. But next time another member told me no, he wouldn't think so. Sometimes I have the impression there are no blind members in Apples accessibility team. To me - who uses the Mac nearly exclusively - there are some problems totally obvious but when I ask the accessibility team for help they are not even aware of the issue. Once we tried something out. We sent the same bug report twice and received two completely different answers. Very strange, isn't it? Really, I love my Macs and I don't want to switch to Windows again. And so I'm so interested in making the Mac even better. And so I just hope, they'll take our reports more serious in the future.
