Haven't had the won't-stop-speaking problem, although, M1
notwithstanding, sometimes it's a bit slow to respond when CTRL is
pressed, but I've never had it fail to shut the thing up.

CTRL doesn’t work relaiably anymore to stop VO from speaking. At least in all
german voices that’s the case. This issue existed in a light version before but
now it’s unlasting.
Really a disappointing OS to me as well this time. Hopefully Apple will
discontiniuing this way.

I decided to give Big Sur a try on one of my macs, and honestly, I'm thinking
about going back to Catalina. Since I became a Mac user back in 2008, I think
this is the first time that I've considered going back to a previous version of
Mac OS, but for me at least, there are some major issues.
First, whenever I install a major upgrade of the operating system, I prefer to
erase my drive and install from scratch. With the recovery for Big Sur 11.1
this is impossible, Voiceover completely crashes when trying to access the
table of disks in disk utility. So, I had to boot a Catalina recovery to erase
my drive. Once that was done I booted from the Big Sur install drive I made and
the install completed fine.
I think there is a major issue with adding or removing items from the dock.
Previously you could move to an item and then press the up arrow which would
give you the menu for that item. In Big Sur, this works the first time although
when you select the option to remove from dock or keep in dock, that action
does not take place. After that, bringing up the context menu for a dock item
is impossible, pressing up arrow, using vo+shift+m or right clicking the mouse
on the item just returns you to the desktop.
The next issue is with the new messages app, while it's useable, the experience
is cumbersome at best. Voiceover tends to get stuck and you can't navigate left
or right, you have to either use the tab key or use Voiceover's go to beginning
or go to end commands to try to get out of the area that Voiceover is stuck in.
Also, when writing a message, the read current line command does not work. This
is the first time I've really been disappointed with an operating system
upgrade, as I said, more than likely I will be going back to Catalina, I may
play with it for another couple days but if I can't make these things work
better than that's what I'm going to do.
