Greetings, There are a few inaccuracies/anomalies with the keyboard insertion point as reported by VoiceOver in Pages 5.6.1.
These can be illustrated by repeating the following steps: Open a new blank document in Pages from the template chooser. Interact with the body of the document and press VO-F4 twice quickly to have VoiceOver report the keyboard insertion point. Assuming you have VoiceOver set to speak size and position in millimetres, VoiceOver should report ‘Insertion is 0 millimeters right, 0 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text.’, which is expected behaviour. Press return once and then have VoiceOver announce the keyboard insertion point again by pressing VO-F4 twice quickly. This time VoiceOver reports the insertion point as, ‘Insertion is 1.7 millimeters right, 0 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text’, which is not expected behaviour, as the insertion point should have moved down but not to the right. Press return again and then have VoiceOver report the keyboard insertion point. This time it reports, ‘Insertion is 2 millimeters right, 3 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text’. Press return once more and again have VoiceOver report the insertion point. It reports it as ‘Insertion is 2 millimeters right, 6 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text.’ Now press the up arrow twice so that the keyboard cursor is on the second line of the document and have VoiceOver report the keyboard insertion point again. This time VoiceOver reports it as, ‘Insertion is 2 millimeters right, 3 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text’. This is neither expected behaviour (which should at least have the keyboard insertion point as 0mm right of top left corner of edit text) nor the same unexpected behaviour as encountered in step 3 above. Now press the down arrow once to move to the third line and have VoiceOver report the insertion point. This time we get ‘Insertion is 0 millimeters right, 6.4 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text’, which is not the same behaviour as encountered in step 4 above. If you then press the down arrow key once more to move to the fourth line and have VoiceOver report the insertion point, it reports it as ‘Insertion is 2 millimeters right, 6 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text’, which is odd given that it’s reported as being closer to the top left corner of edit text than when on line 3 as encountered in step 7 above. If you now press the up arrow once and then the tab key 3 times and have VoiceOver report the insertion point, it reports it as, ‘Insertion is 27 millimeters right, 6 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text.’ I don’t know about the accuracy of this, but at least it’s reported as being further right than before pressing the tab key. But now press the down arrow once and have VoiceOver report the insertion point. It’s reported as being, ‘29 millimeters right, 6 millimeters down from top left corner of edit text.’ For some reason pressing the tab key on line 3 has made VoiceOver think the insertion point at the beginning of line 4 is further to the right, and further than it was reported as being in step 8.
