Hi Ricardo,

I listened to your podcast on selecting text in Safari, but I am running into a 
problem.  When I find a block of text I wish to select, I turn on Quick Navv, 
and find the beginning of the text I want to select.  When I press VO F5, 
however, I am told that "Desktop, Finder is under the mouse".  I have the mouse 
set to follow VO, so I don't know why it is on the desktop?  Is there a way to 
route the mouse to VO?  I tried the keystroke, CTRL, Option, Command, F5, but 
nothing happens.  I am still told that Desktop, Finder is under the mouse.  Any 
ideas?

Thanks,

Russell
