Hi, Eureka!!! At least for me anyway. I thought that it was possibly VO cursor related and it appears that the issue has something to do with the magnification of the VoiceOver Cursor. In the VoiceOver Utility, in the visuals category under the VoiceOver Cursor tab, all my machines were set to show the VO Cursor but the magnifications were slightly different. My MacPro at work was set to one and my MBP was set to three. So, I changed the MBP to one, like the MacPro, and I was now able to add items to the Favourites Bar and drop them specifically somewhere within the Bar as well.
VO is not particularly helpful, though, for me in the process of getting rid of items off the Favourites Bar, because it won't drag items with press action. This is what I do to get rid of items rom the Favourites Bar. I use VO to navigate to the item I wish removed, press VO-cmd-f5 to make sure that my mouse is focused there as well, then press down on my mouse or trackpad and physically just drag it down and out of the bar. You only need to do this a short distance, then release the button and you'll hear a swoosh like when something falls off your dock. I hope this is of some help to Brian, Jürgen and others, if not, please let me know and I'll see if anything else makes a difference. Later...
