Yes, that's what was really driving me nuts. Again, really that is bad web design. Just putting the mouse on something should not cause a page to change, the link should not expand unless it's clicked, but, it is what it is. It always worked fine before high sierra which is why I never figured i

Thanks for this. I recently turned off the visual representation of the Voiceover curser and didn’t connect the dots to why links weren’t automatically expanding on websites. I’ve adjusted back and things are good now. Thanks again. Jeff > On Dec 31, 2017, at 5:29 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: >

That is exactly what I did recently while looking for a problem. I exported settings first then deleted them. It was fast and easy and I could always easily import the settings again. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . "God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all the chall

Right, but in this case, since I wasn't sure what was causing it, I wanted to make sure there were no corrupt preference files or anything else like that, when you're not sure what is causing the issue, start with a clean slate. > On Dec 31, 2017, at 5:03 PM, E.T. wrote: > > Good job, Mike.

Good job, Mike. Perhaps it was a bug and was fixed in HS. There is an easier way to set VO to defaults. Its on the VO Utility file menu. You can also import and export VO settings there too. From E.T.'s Keyboard. . . "God for you is where you sweep away all the mysteries of the world, all th

Ok, I found the answer, I don't know if this is a bug or a design change, but it's definitely different than in previous operating systems. Since no one else could reproduce the issue, I decided to start with defaults, so I opened my library folder, went to the preferences folder and deleted eve

Actually, I just looked at my settings ET what is your mouse settings on VO right now? and mouse was set to ignore VO Cursor… So maybe the options are a bit messed up. Best wishes, Jonathan Cohn > On Dec 31, 2017, at 2:42 PM, Mike Arrigo wrote: > > Actually I wish this did

Actually I wish this did work in safari, some sites, when the mouse moves over a link will expand the link and show you the other links within the menu, granted, this is not very good web design, but many sites do it, I'm wondering if I should delete my voiceover preferences and start witht eh d

Very interesting, unless I use the command to move the mouse to the voiceover cursor, it just says apple is under the mouse, I wonder if it's related to another setting, although it was never an issue before high sierra. > On Dec 30, 2017, at 3:22 PM, E.T. wrote: > > Yes I am running High Si

I am getting similar results to ET, The mouse does not seem to closely match the specific word in Pages, but it certainly is not stuck on the Apple logo. When in the Finder VO-F5 reports the previous application unless I put the finder window in full screen mode. I thought that VO-tilde reported

Are you using high sierra? If you have the mouse set to follow the voiceover cursor and you navigate to something, then press vo+F5 to hear the item under the mouse, does it indicate that the mouse is on the same item as the voiceover cursor? For me, unless I specifically move the mouse to the v
