Hi, I think this is different by design. I agree with you. It needs to be rethough to improve the functionality. The theory though is that whatever is in the voiceover cursor is highlighted. You can use this feature to copy large blocks of tedt, track the blindness perspective around the screen and more. It's very useful in a practical sense. It's just that the feature of having the contents of the voiceover cursor highlighted nagates using the braille display to write some codes or view some real features of the screen.
So what's needed is a braille cursor independent of the voiceover cursor which can track either the mouse, active, or vo cursors as desired. Then the contents ocf the vo cursor could be highlighted, while the contents of the braille cursor could render what's on the screen.

I don't know how it exactly works but, when it's underlined without specific reason: - capital letters can't be showed on the braille display, - marked text can't be shown as marked text since dots 7 and 8 are always present. - Like in windows, with screenreader, you can define which lay-out should be underlined, e.g. bold, italic, … text. - you can't see the place of the cursor on the braille display… I know, you can check out dots 7 and 8 on the braille panel in voiceover utility but when you do this, you will not have any off the advantages as described above. So, my questions to you all: are there any ways to have the advantages like described above? If others have also the same frustrations as me, what can we do to push apple on a efficient way?
