I notice the cursor jumping in AOL when I am looking at my mail, but
not really withanything else. It did weird things when my Sister would
try to help me by using the mouse also. I thought that maybe it had
somethingto do with Safari and AOL, but I guess not. I previously used
OutSpoken and even withthe problems that I have had with Voiceover, I
like it a lot better. I am able to do things with Voiceover that I
could never do with OutSpoken.

Subject: Re: VO cursor jumping in 10.4.4?
This bug happened a long time ago and was reported and fixed but it
seems from your email that it poped back up. By the way it is a VO bug
related to safari. If you turn off VO it doesnt happen but with VO on
if one scrolls down a page in safari using the mouse with a sighted
person, the safari page will suddenly jump back to the top but it will
not happen if VO is turned off so it is not VO commands related but
some interaction between the VO program and the Safari program that
happend even if one is only using the mouse in a sighted way. Vickie
