Hi guys,

Well, some of y'all have mentioned having trouble with Safari jumping out of your page while you navigated. I've run into this as well, along with VO jumping unexpectedly.

I think I found a fix for this.

In the VO preferences, set your cursor tracking so that the mouse follows the VO cursor, but uncheck the box where the VO cursor follows the mouse cursor. This appears to do the trick. I need to test it more as I only did it yesterday.

Also, on large pages that take an age to navigate with VO...pages with lots of pictures. Uncheck the box that says (in the web section of the VO utility) "Navigate images". This appears to have helped at least somewhat.
