Thanks a lot Dante and Isidor.I really appreciate it!
It is the exact same problem you mentioned @Isidor. The fix didn't work for
me, but I found another workaround. I only use the magnifier - and no
speech - so I disabled the accessibility support. That did the trick.
Thanks again for your great work.

Hi Kenneth Brodersen,
Thanks for trying out VS Code.
This sounds like this issue
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/105558
As a workaround you can set editor.accessibilityPageSize: 2 in your
settings.
If this does not seem to be the case, then please create a new issue and
feel free to ping me @isidorn and we can continue the investigation there.
Thanks a lot!
Isidor

We’ve run into a few one-off issues with magnifier, particularly in
applications that support multi-caret editing. I know that both VS and VS
Code support that.
If you’ve already filed the issue with VS Code, I’m sure @Isidor Nikolic
<Isidor.Nikolic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> will be aware of it soon and I know that
on the VS side, a magnifier issue is a high impact issue. I don’t know of a
workaround at this time, but if I find anything out, I’ll be sure to let
you know.

Hi
I have primarily been working with the development of backend applications
in Visual Studio for a few years. In my new job I will have to do a bit of
frontend too (angular, svelte). My colleagues all use VS Code so I gave it
a go.
I was a bit surprised to find that it works very poorly with the magnifier
in windows 11. It doesn't track the text-cursor position correctly when
navigating horizontally .
It is a very popular editor, so I can't be the first person to have this
issue. I will be creating a bug report but was hoping that someone in here
might have some sort of workaround?
Can anyone recommend a good alternative to VS code that works well with
the windows magnifier? I already tried rider and webstorm. These don't
support cursor tracking at all (already reported to jetbrains 2 months
ago). The only success I had so far is with eclipse and the Angular
plugin... But Eclipse. Seriously. That will be my last resort!
Any advice, comments or thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
