Well, yeah, exactly. I'm not navigating, so it would be nice if VoiceOver could
recognise that and allow me to enter text without having to interact. It's
maybe not a bug, but it's pretty much just replicating the old version of forms
mode in JAWS, which feels like a step back to me. That combined with the other
bugginess makes it far less appealing to me than it otherwise would be. But as
always, you're mileage may vary.
