Hello,
I would like to share a finding about a bug which has been introduced in macOS 10.15 Catalina and which occurs in TextEdit. I've already reported the issue to accessibility@apple.com but would like to bring the issue to awareness also here at AppleVis so that we can gather more support in resolving the issue.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Turn on VoiceOver.
- Using Finder, open an existing plain text file in Text Edit and move the VoiceOver cursor to the document edit field. (The issue does not occur in rich text files.)
- Use the arrow keys to navigate the text cursor inside the document edit field.
Expected behavior:
You should hear voiceOver reading the text as you move the text cursor in the field.
What happens instead:
No VoiceOver feedback.
Workaround to repair the issue:
Turning VoiceOver off and on again. The reading of the edit field then becomes accessible as it should be.
Kind regards
Adam

No I meant I get that unable to reproduce, or nothingn at all. I don't think I had a response for this issue as of yet even though I submited a sys diag when it happened.
Actualy I have not ben able to reproduce the issue ever since a few days ago but can't remember what I did to fix it besides restart my computer every day.
