Hi, Not sure why it would have deleted the entire line unless the line of text was highlighted. Normally, on a Mac, when moving from left to right, the cursor will land just to the right, or after, the last item read. Therefore, if you pressed the delete key, it would delete the last letter of the last word read. The problem happens now, if you are just using arrow navigation, then this rule does not always work. It seems that when using arrow navigation, the cursor location within the line is remembered, thus just listening to what VO read doesn't necessarily work. What I've done for now, is use arrow keys until I get close then use option-arrow to go word by word. This lets the cursor behaviour work the same as what I'm accustomed to. Someone else may have something to contribute here, but that's my work around for now. I'd rather have not needed to work around anything, but I'd like a lot of things that don't happen.

What I want to know if I want to delete a word or letter, does the cursor need to be on top of the letter that you wish to delete? I deleted an entire line which I didn't want. I felt like throwing my Mac mini across the room. Kawal. > On 9 Nov 2017, at 19:34, M.
