Hi David,
Thanks a lot for your explanation. Let me try this and see how it goes.
Intuitive is a very subjective concept, but I'll take your advice for it. <grin>

Thanks again,
Vic

This is explained in a recent message and has been explained in various ways
several times since we started using the Mac.  If you are having the
*problem* I think you are having, it boils down to the fact that the cursor
is actually between characters.  if you move right and hear a character and
then move left, you will hear that same character so if you want to delete a
character, move right till you hear it and hit delete, if you want to insert
beginning before a character, move left till you hear the character and
insert.  This is not a bug, this is not a problem and infact is more precise
than what we get in windows which has always confused me.

Subject: VO and tracking cursor in text fields


Hello all,
I am sure I am not the first one to ask this but... Is there a
work-around to get VO track the cursor correctly in text fields and
multiline fields?
Currently, it is very difficult to read and edit in textedit or on the
web because the current character under the cursor is not accurately
reported.

Thanks,
Vic
