AR For me, the popover is not read immediately, but VO-Shift-j takes me there 
and I can read who made the change or comment and at what time. I can then 
accept or reject it. However, if I do anything other than press VO-Shift-j 
after hearing the sound, the popover seems to disappear.

AR I’m wondering whether the mouse has anything to do with this. I always set 
my mouse to ignore the other cursors. One thing that sometimes works is to 
bring the mouse and press VO-Space.

AR The unlabelled buttons in all these popovers are Previous and Next.

Ar I’m not having these problems. However, I frequently lose the ability to 
navigate in the text using VoiceOver and have to toggle it off and on again.

I hope this is of some use.

Cheers,

Anne
