HI Jürgen,

I've never had the jumping around issue myself. I have had the issue you 
mention regarding VoiceOver reading the end of previous lines etcetera. 
However, I only seem to have it when I change direction from going down to up, 
or up to down. A similar thing happens while reading by word when changing 
direction from left to right or right to left. I agree it's annoying and 
shouldn't happen. I hope they change this. But, as it is I'm still able to get 
the information I need, particularly if I stick to going slowly in one 
direction.

As for tables… well, these are a problem on the Mac in all document 
reading/word processing apps. It baffles me why these are such a problem for 
VoiceOver, given that the tables work fine in Safari. I thought most word 
processors were based on HTML, so I can't work out why it works in Safari but 
not other apps.

I also endeavour to use the Mac exclusively. However, I have heavy duty word 
processing requirements for work. So I am unfortunately often forced to use 
Windows for track changes, footnotes, moving between particular pages in 
documents and identifying particular line numbers . I really hope Apple fixes 
these issues so I can use the Mac exclusively.

I know this is a little off topic, but speaking of languages — I love it how 
iOS now automatically reads out foreign languages in the appropriate voice so 
long as the foreign language is in special script or tagged correctly. I wish 
VoiceOver would do the same in Mac OS X.

  
Best,
Nic
