Google Drive has several keyboard shortcuts for navigating and working with files. For example, with a list of files open in Drive using Safari, the j and k keys move focus down and up the list of files. Up until Ventura, VoiceOver would read each file name as focus moved through the list. It worked very well. Never had a problem with it.
Since Ventura, rather than read the file name, j and k cause VoiceOver to say, "List Box, Loading". This makes it impossible to know which file has focus. As a workaround, Google Chrome behaves just as it always has.
Ventura introduced other issues for Safari and VoiceOver, all of them fairly serious. But since I do a lot of work with Drive, this issue stands above the others as the most critical.
Comments
And By Extension,
Same goes for the Orion browser that Safari is based on.
In addition to bo mentioned above, Facebook is also affected.
Interestingly,
http://pinafore.social
(the Mastodon client), and
http://twitter.com/
, are both not affected by this bug.
Why not just use the google…
Why not just use the google drive app?
No collaboration
The Google Drive app syncs your Google Drive files to your local system. It does not allow team collaboration or simultaneous editing. To do that, you must use the Google Drive website.
I use google drive a lot
I use Google Drive nearly every day, and it works well in Google Chrome
Ventura 13.1 no help
I'm still seeing the same incorrect behavior after upgrading to Ventura 13.1.
good luck getting Google to fix it
I have found Google is slow to respond to user concerns. I've given several suggestions to the Accessibility help desk over the years and they have yet to be added to Google products. so if its a Google issue good luck.
