Hi Ann, No, I always keep the mouse untethered. Maybe I misspoke, but I don’t think I routed the mouse before VOing right to the menu. I did however, use the alternatives action keystroke as suggested in the help tag for the style radio button (VO command spacebar). After pressing the "show actions" in the alternative actions menu, I could just arrow to the menu button without routing the mouse. I worked as a systems programmer in the insurance industry for a few years as well, and, like you, I am also surprised at the laxity of Apple’s regression testing. It’s a glaring omission in an otherwise fine piece of engineering.
