VoiceOver acting strangely on MacOs Sonoma with Reaper

Hello! I am using MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 with Reaper 7.07 and Osara, but experiencing some pretty strange behaviour from VoiceOver. First, I created a new track. Then, I added an existing audio file to it. I wanted to apply the reverse effect to the file, so I went to "item properties" from the file menu and checked the box. Next, I pressed "okay", exited the window, and played the track. Everything good so far. After that, I went to the file menu again and pressed VO+right arrow. Where VoiceOver should have said "item" it said nothing at all. Still nothing with VO+ down arrow. When I tried pressing escape it did not exit the menu and I was left with no choice but to force quit the application. I noticed the same thing happening in WavePad Audio Editor. I was wondering, has anyone else encountered this problem and are there any ideas for a solution? I am looking forward to your reply. Thank you in advance. Take care.

Try pressing the letter v as in victory, this will reverse the file.

I do not recommend use VO+Arrows to navigate through menus. Use arrow keys normally

Thank you to everyone who replied. I’ll keep your suggestions in mind. I understand that reaper is very customisable and it’s possible to get a lot of things done with the help of Shortcuts. As for navigating menus, I will try using the arrows only. However, it seems like this behaviour is caused by some kind of a bug of sorts, which I hope will be resolved in the next update. Thanks again.

When my mac was on sonoma, that bug drived me crazy in wavepad where you couldn't leave the menus, even if you tried.
I know 0 work arounds for this bug.
Wish I could help. Try using the arrow keys like other people have suggested with quick nav off.
Hope this helps a little,
Levi

It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who has run into this issue. I do hope that the bug will be fixed soon.
