I’ve had trouble with selecting text for copying from a website, can’t pinpoint
it to a recent update, but the issue is similar. I go to the start of the
section using VO arrows, take Quick Nav off and do shift down arrow to select,
and it does indeed jump me out of the text to somewhere else. A couple of
clarifying notes…
This techinique did work before, it is within the last two weeks that the
problem started.
I make sure to switch my rotor to words or characters because that caused an
issue in the past.
This problem occurs in a web reading dialogue, not a regular website page. I
dont’ exactly know what that is, but tha’ts what VO calls is when I click the
link. My wife says it’s like a pop up that goes away if you scroll off of it.
I need to check the site anyways, so I’ll do that now to see if anything works.
Ok, just did a few different sequences, and I was jumped out of the dialogue
every time.
I checked my cursor settings in VO Utilities, doesn’t look like anything
changed.
I tried switching reading order, live regions and always enable keyboard
commands. Yup, I know this shouldn’t effect anything, but I checked anyways,
nothing.
I’ll keep pondering, selecting text from a website seems like one of those
things that didn’t work back in the day, then did work great, now doesn't work
again.

I haven't noticed a problem like you describe, I use vo with arrows rather
than just arrows, habit, I also use quicknav links and headings to move
around web pages.

has anyone noticed with the lasst update to catalina trouble reviewing web
pages?
example:
go to a page, find any item to review, try moving with just the arrow keys,
you are suddenly somewhere else on the page.
this makes it impossible to check spelling, or select text for copying
elsewhere.
any ideas or fixes?
