Dear Anne, It's all very strange: some people can use hotspots and others don't. My hotspots don't stick at all, nor can I reliably set webspots. I may be able to use them within the same application but they won't work for more than a few times and then they stop. And if I call up hotspots chooser menu, Voiceover reports that the particular hotspot is inactive. I had reset the VoiceOver to its original settings as John Panarese had suggested but to no avail. I do hope that they will be fixed soon as I miss them.
I also wanted to ask you whether you were experiencing problems with Safari holding onto the Voiceover focus and dragging it to itself when trying to command+tab from Safari into another application. I think it must be Voiceover problem because if I unload Voiceover and load it again, the problem disappears.. Another way which i have tried is to position my Voiceover cursor onto the toolbar in Safari and then I can tab away into another application. It's all beyond me. This behaviour is not consistent though but it does happen for me often enough to become a nuisance. The thing is Apple accessibility are telling me that they can't reproduce it so they won't work on it. And yet, others have experienced this problem as well. Thank you for writing.
