Outlook and Voiceover Issue

macOS and Mac Apps

When I compose a new message and navigate to the "to" field and start to type the cursor is moved to the bold button by whatever key I press instead of typing.

I have a mac with the touchbar. I have tried restarting my computer and updating my OS.

It does not do it with voiceover off.

This could possibly be an issue with "single key navigation". Try the following, and see if it helps:

One. Press VO plus q, to disable SingleKey QuickNav.
Two. Try to compose a new email.

Alternatively, if you are using macOS prior to Sonoma:

One.
Press the left and right arrow keys together simultaneously, to disable QuickNav.
Two. Try composing a new email.

One of those should disable the single key navigation, and let you actually type into the "to" field.

HDH. ☺️
