Hi again List, Here is the reply I received regarding the issue that seems to exist with reviewing text entered into search fields on the web. Once again the person who apparently dealt with my message said he or she is unable to reproduce the problem. I did not yet try this on the Applevis website, but maybe others can reply back to them as well giving examples from websites where they have encountered this. Here is the reply:

So far I am unable to reproduce this. I went to Applevis.com and select the search field there. I then typed in a search term. I then exited out of the on screen keyboard and double tapped so I was in the search field. I then used the rotor to select characters and flicked up and down. VO called out the characters going forwards and backwards. Can you provide the exact steps you are using to cause this issue?
