not working for me

By Christina

Does it only work in text edit. I can't get it to work properly in mail or in Safari. In Safari it just stops fast forwarding with a lot of bonk sounds. In mail, the cursor seems to move forward but when I stop holding down the keys, voiceOver just says 50 percent. Sometimes VO will continue reading but most of the times it just says 50 percent and I have to use the read all command to get VO reading again. Yes, quick Nav is turned off and yes, I am holding down the keys. Yes, I did set up the key commands in Keyboard commander. I just wanted to know if anyone else experiences this. I was really excited about this feature.
