Hi Joseph, I did a VO-Space on that link, and was taken to "Today:" and the forecast on that web page. What navigation settings are you using for your VoiceOver cursor tracking? (I currently have "Mouse Cursor Ignores VoiceOver Cursor", but since I was fooling around with navigation experiments earlier, it has been on "Mouse Cursor Follows VoiceOver Cursor"). The one thing I can reproducibly do to make in-page links fail is to turn cursor tracking off, which is why I asked about the VO-Shift-F3. Can somebody else try this with a different setting and report?
