Hello Grant, > I’m unfortunately still having a lot of trouble with using these track > changes features, particularly with comments. > > GH 1.

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.

There appears to be no way to read the comment. > AR I’m wondering whether the mouse has anything to do with this. I always set my mouse to ignore the other cursors.

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.
