Severity

Description

When placing VoiceOver focus on a message in Messages, and pressing VO-Shift-M to access the context menu, there is a “Tapback” submenu, in addition to the longstanding “tapback…” option. While the “Tapback…” option works as expected, nothing happens when pressing VO-Space on the submenu.

Bug First Encountered

macOS Sonoma 14.1

How often the bug occurs

Workaround

Use either the "Tapback…" option in the context menu, or the "react" option in the VoiceOver Actions menu.
