You can avoid this issue by, after navigating to a Heading in an email message, rather than using arrow keys, use VO navigation to navigate from that point onward.

Hi!
I normally do not have issues with such things in mail.
There are other things in the mail app that has gone strange in the beta.
I try my best to give the feedback I can.

Hi!
The beta has gone a bit better but there’s still issues.
But if there’s no one testing there will not bee any good results either.

Hi,
Using an m1 Mac book air and do not have any of the crashing or busy messages
mentioned. That’s interesting. I also have both an Intel Mac mini and a
windows 11 desktop. I find that my MBA is pretty stable. I am able to do
email and web browsing just fine without any problem. Perhaps t
I second this.
I use both my Mac and my PC daily. I teach online, and mostly I prefer the way
JAWS and Windows handles the LMS, so I doubt I’ll ever not have a PC. But I’m
also amazed at how frustrating things that should be simple can be on Windows.
Cheers,

Well, I have bought a Windows laptop and I’m making sure I use it since I no
longer think Apple is always going to stick to their original commitment to
blind people. I also find using the internet on a Windows machine a much more

Hi!
Yes I am really concerned especially as I am testing out the Sonoma beta.
It has a lot of issues with both mail and safari and braille usage too.
But there seems to be no other than me on the public beta list that is testing

My biggest gripe with Mac OS and VO is web browsing. It’s awful compared to
