I too have experienced this behavior. There is one site that used to
behave just fine, but now everytime I get to a certain place on the
page, vo jumps back to the top, and (as you said) out of the html
entirely on occasion. This is very anoying, and I haven't a clue
what causes it, since it doesn't do this with other sites <sigh>
Perhaps, it's just something in the html code. I'll examine it
later, and see if I can replicate the behavior by copying the
offending html code into a new document. This might help to narrow
down the misbehaving bits of html/xml code.
And, yes, you can report bugs from the adc system. Just log in (you
can report bugs even with the free membership) and go to the bug
reporting section, and follow the prompts. I've got an open bug now
about safari and pdf files. They're quite prompt in answering, if
there's something you didn't include with the bug report. I'll see
how quick they are in responding when all parts are present, as I
just added the last piece last week.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Since upgrading to
10.4.4, I've had a world of issues browsing pages with the VO
cursor. I typically browse to the page element I want, then use VO
controls to click it (as opposed to tabbing.) On the day that I
upgraded, I noticed that interacting with some groups on some
websites became a royal pain in the ass. Specifically, until
upgrading I was thrilled that microsoft outlook web access was far
more accessible under Safari than it was under windows. Now,
though, I interact with the HTML area, try interacting with the
second frame and the VO cursor jumps out of the HTML area entirely.
I've also noticed this same behavior on livejournal.com comment
pages. I haven't had this problem before, but now it makes doing
quite a few tasks difficult.
Has anyone else experienced this? I've been using VO since Tiger
was released, so this very much is not a case of a newbie who
doesn't know what he's doing, or someone who wasn't using the
applications as they were intended. I hate to fuel the fires of
discontent, but I'm a tad upset that sanctioned upgrades can break
VoiceOver access in such a way as to render certain tasks nearly
impossible, and there has been no response to my 3-4 quite well-
thought-out pieces of feedback to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'll stop
ranting on this subject before I get too carried away; I'm just
frustrated that a task that I must accomplish went from quite
workable to undoable, and am wondering if I'm alone in experiencing
this issue. Is there a place where I can actually file bugs with
Apple, maybe something through ADC? I'm beginning to wonder if the
numerous issues I've sent email about aren't being addressed
because they aren't being fed through proper channels, a BTS of
some sort perhaps.
