Noncontiguous selection with Voiceover no longer works with Mavericks?

Hey all,
Has anyone else noticed that selecting noncontiguous items with the keyboard and Voiceover doesn't seem to work the same as before? When I try to use VO + command + spacebar to select something, I just get the Voiceover ding symbolizing that I can't. :( Very frustrating! anyone having this problem in Mavericks and if so, have you found a solution?
Thanks,
Megan

I think it's a bug in voice over. I can't get it to work at all in open dialogues, and in the finder itself. I'd contact accessibility@apple.com and present a formal bug report that is issue OS and build number problem steps to reproduce including numbered steps regression notes and expected results and actually results. Hth.

VO-command-space is now used to display alternative actions for an item. The key to work with a multiple selection is now VO-Command-Enter.
