Spoken Content on Mac disables arrow key scrolling in Safari

Whenever I select text in Safari and use this feature to hear what I've selected, I can no longer scroll with the arrow key, even after clicking the page background. Disabling the controller will still reproduce this bug. The only way to temporarily fix this issue is to go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > Allow Full Keyboard Access, and then disable it. However, the next time I use Spoken Content, the bug will still occur.

Hi WillofFire,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!

Thank you for sharing your experience with the community.

Although software is well tested before being released, it is people like you who rely on the software who can pinpoint the difficulties they encounter.


You might want to send feedback on this issue to Apple's accessibility Support Team. Although they will likely not reply, your feedback will reach those who can make changes. if others are also experiencing this issue, and those who work behind-the-scenes at Apple get feedback, we may see an update that addresses it.


Eg: To provide feedback about an accessibility feature on an Apple product, you can email the Accessibility team: accessibility@apple.com.


All the best :-)
