Hello all,

Recently I have noticed that I am unable to get the selection command for 
working with files that are non-contiguous to work. I am not sure if I am doing 
something wrong or if this has been introduced as a disfunction in voiceover 
within in the latest update. Here are the steps I am using:

1. Locate the folder where the files to be selected reside.
2. Navigate to the first file to be selected and press vo-command enter.
3. Generally voiceover indicates that  the file is now unselected so I repeat 
the keystroke to add it to a selection.
5. Move to the next file to be selected and repeat the keystroke.
6. Sometimes I then hear a tone from voiceover which I know indicates the 
process will no longer work.
7. Other times, voice over indicates the highlighted file is selected and I may 
proceed.

Hope these steps can help figure out what is doing on. Thanks for any 
suggestions. I am also going to look in the voiceover help to see if there is a 
step I am missing.

As a final thought, a friend suggested I lock the voiceover keys to see if that 
would help and after trying that, there was no difference in the behavior.
