Greetings All,

As several folks have reported, I have experienced the bug in Big Sur in 
regards to invoking the menu on items in the dock. I am using a new M1 
MacBookAir.

I have spent some time with Apple Support and they have provided a sort of 
workaround for this issue. It certainly is  not as convenient as the original 
VO+Shift+m; however, it works “most” of the time—and I emphasize , “most” as 
the workaround does not always open the menu for me.

Anyway, here is the workaround and it is better than nothing until they get the 
bug fixed.

1. Go to the dock with VO+d
2. Navigate to the item you wish to work with
3. Press the key combination of VO+function+Command+5 
  (VO says the name of the app you are focused on in the dock)
4. Press VO+h+H
5. Type r I (no space between the r and i)
6. VO will say right mouse click; press return
This usually opens up the menu where you can access options and other choices 
usually displayed thru the VO+Shift+m menu.

Again, not perfect but it has worked fairly reliably for me so far.

Hope this helps anyone else dealing with this issue.

Larry W. Honaker
