Eric, I struggled with this same question and have finally settled on a method that works flawlessly with copying text areas from the web. I get to the beginning of the text I want to copy and silence VO. Then pressing only the shift key, I press the down arrow to the end of the text I want to copy. You should hear it say "highlighted". Press command c then press command V when you are ready to past the text. Do not interact with the text before using this method. Also, I have Quick Nav on in case that makes a difference.
