Hi Ari, I've been reading this thread for a while shaking my head wondering what you all are talking about. But I thought before I send a message telling you it's all user error, I thought I move some rotor stuff around since I hadn't done it in a while. I started to select and deselect a few items and move them up and down and at first had no issues at all. Then suddenly I realized the problem you describe is starting to reproduce for me. I don't have things like Sounds and Audio Ducking selected and next thing I know they are selected and I am 100% sure I didn't tap them. I also had moved Vertical navigation and Headings and suddenly they were way down in the list again.
So yes, there seems to be a reproduceable bug here, I have an iPhone 6S Plus and I'll write a message to Apple Accessibility about this. I suggest you write to them as well since it is probably better than calling since that way they have a written record. You could of course call them and also write, but I would definitely not only call. I doubt there is a solution to this, it seems to be a random bug, so the more people try this and write to them about it the better. One thing I would like to add is that at one point one of the items I had moved up suddenly appeared way further down again. At that point I backed out of the Rotor back to Voiceover settings, then I went back in and the item now was where I had put it. I don't know how to explain this, but if you do something and remember what you do when it suddenly seems something got randomly selected or deslected or moved and you then go back out of the rotor and in again, I think you may find all is well. If you are making lots of changes I think it's almost better to do two or three things, then back out and go back in and do your next two or three changes. It's an interesting bug, I can't exactly say it is driving me crazy since I was still able to select and deselect what I wanted and to move the items into the order I want, but it should of course be fixed. One thing I always noticed is that when you move something up or down you must make sure you do it slowly and hear the little plink sound. There are occasions when I am moving something and I don't hear it or I hear it a few times and then it stops and if that happens and I check where the item I am moving ended up it's usually all the way up at the top or bottom. Also, if you are moving something from way at the bottom to really high up on the list you can't do it all at once. It works much better to move it 4 or 5 spots up, then find it again, put your finger back towards the bottom of the screen and move it again and so on.

Reorganizing the items isn't the problem. I listen very carefully, and stop when the item I'm moving is where I want it. The trouble starts when things start randomly moving around on me, particularly an icon that I just moved a few seconds ago. Or something I moved a little bit ago will suddenly shift position, or things will randomly become unselected. I know how to organize the rotor, and things used to work beautifully. I haven't had to do this from scratch in a very long time, so "i don't know when things started going absolutely haywire like this, but it's frustrating me beyond belief! "apple "accessibility is getting a call today. They really need to know about this issue.
