zoom really, really broke something on Mac. When tabbing around, it brings up info about whatever the focus landed on. Show-stoppingly bad UX design here. Don't know how to combat it.
@FreakyFwoof It might open up things based on the mouse location, so turn off mouse tracking with vo Shift 3. .
@jakobrosin Didn't used to do this until most recent version though. Only way to get out of it is to hold escape for about 5 seconds. If you press esc once, it comes back straight away.
@FreakyFwoof I didn't have a Zoom meeting today. Maybe it has updated itself meanwhile, but on Friday it worked well for me.
@jakobrosin Nothing I do can get it to enable it now. Absolute clusterfuck. Tab to notes, it brings that up. Host tools, can't find the screen-sharing. They really, really shit the bed on this release.
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin Do you by any chance have the mouse cursir set to follow VoiceOver? Sounds like some poorly coded tooltips popping up
@pitermach @jakobrosin If turning it off, tab works but if you VO around the window, fucked.
@FreakyFwoof Strange, for me, everything works so far. Granted, I haven't connected a calendar to zoom directly so my experience may be different from yours. @pitermach
@jakobrosin @pitermach Are you sure you're on the same version?
@FreakyFwoof Zoom workplace Version: 6.7.7 (76486) @pitermach
@jakobrosin @pitermach OK, do:
Command Control V to start your own meeting.
Wait for it to connect.
Tab or VO around the window with follow cursor on, which is the normal behaviour anyway. Are you saying it doesn't mis behave?
@FreakyFwoof Very strange. Nothing like that for me in the same view. @pitermach
@jakobrosin @pitermach I get that even after a reboot, so yeah, maybe it's a Sequoia thing. Glad it's fine for you, but it's showstoppingly shit for me. So glad I maintain time machine backups. I copied an older zoom app out of backup to a different folder. Cannot work like that. Genuinely fucked off with it so much right now.
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin Looks like my zoom app updated yesterday, but at least on the main screen I'm not seeing anything like what you had. Will be in a meeting later today so we'll see how that goes.
@pitermach @jakobrosin Think I've worked out why you guys don't have it. If the mouse cursor is set to ignore VO cursor, it won't do it, but that means you have to do VO CMD F5 before clicking something, so it's an annoying extra step.
@FreakyFwoof @jakobrosin That would do it, and this is exactly why I have that option off. Sure, it's one extra step, but in my experience it causes more issues in the longrun. Auto expanding menus in some audio plugins and websites changing around the cursor, sometimes opening random popups much like what you just described were very common occurances.
@pitermach @jakobrosin Shouldn't have to though. It's been on for years, and only with this build has it caused problems. That doesn't make it OK. Not saying you said it is, by the way... Just observing.
