Extreme lagging behavior with Brailliant BI 40X and Ventura 13.4

Braille on Apple Products

Hi, all. I hadn't connected my Brailliant BI 40X in a couple weeks and just found that I am experiencing an unacceptable lag when scrolling through emails, for instance. Perhaps I've missed the memo, but is there a crazy bug going on here and when did this occur? I'm very disappointed with some Braille bugs lately and find it discouraging. At least I've found a workaround for the enter key not working on IOS with my Brailliant BI 40X. Toggle keyboard on and off, or off and on with dots 1 4 6 plus spacebar and the enter key works. Anyway, this sluggish behavior is absolutely dreadful. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm so passionate about Braille that when something miserable is happening, I'm so disheartened. Thanks for any help or even confirmation you can given.

More info on the lagging behavior

Hi. I have more info to share. The lagging occurs when navigating around the doc among apps, and scrolling through lists of things like email messages. It also occurs when trying to navigate to the top or bottom of an email with standard Braille display commands. It simply doesn't move with the dots 3 6 spacebar, or spacebar with L., for instance.

The sluggish behavior does not occur when I am typing text either from my Mac keyboard or from the Brailliant BI 40X display itself. I'm grateful that text entry doesn't seem to be a problem. But, the nearly 3 seconds it takes to move from one email message to the next one in the list is absolutely unacceptable. Would love to know what others are experiencing.

On a related note: I can no longer find anything about the VoiceOver cursor being tied to the Braille cursor or some such option. I know we have that sort of thing with Jaws on Windows and Braille, but thought there was some equivalent. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Chris
