Folks,
The popup button in Navigation, in Voiceover utilities has 3 choices,
moves Voiceover curser,
ignores Voiceover curser,
follows Voiceover curser,
Which tells the mouse how to act deserves a special look if you are having
focus issues.
Right now, I have it set to ignores Voiceover curser and life is pretty good.
The thing you need to remember is if you are using this setting you will need
to rout the mouse to the Voiceover curser with vo keys command f5 from time to
time, but, where you have this button set will make a differents. ***If thingds
are working well for you leave it alone, if its not broke, don't fix it!
