Hello Eric,
For the terminal, note that Catalina by default uses the zsh instead of bash
for its shell. That being said, I used to have zsh do file name completions
when I used it in 1999. You should b able to start a bash session and have it
work as before.
In terms of Safari, I expect that since VO Cursor is dragging the keyboard
input with it when cursor tracking is enabled, you are just getting some
verbosity about exactly where the cursor is which could be useful if you start
using shift and arrow keys to select items on the Safari page. Are there any
changes in this output if you turn off cursor tracking, or lower verbosity
settings?
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
