Yes, it is standard in MacOs that the current selection does not move when
using standard scrolling functions like page up or page down. I generally avoid
these commands for the VoiceOver equivalent keys or using a VoiceOver search.
Other things you might find useful depending on your actions:
command-J jump to selection Move the selected item to be visible in a scrolling
window.
vo-shift-space click mouse at current mouse location.
If you are in a finder window with list view active and hit page up even if
VoiceOver follows mouse is enabled, you will notice with vo-F5 vs vo-F3 that
the mouse and VO cursor are not in the same place.
Best wishes,
Jonathan
