VoiceOver may not always see Safari's Reader as active

Category
Safari
Severity
Minor

Description

Sometimes, cmd-shift-r in Safari will cause Safari to go "busy" for a few seconds before the Reader is activated. If this happens, VoiceOver does not see the page in Reader mode, but rather in standard mode. You must toggle the Reader off and then back on before VoiceOver will see it.
