VO Cursor Problems in Safari with iOS 12.3 and 12.4

Hello!I know that problems with the VO cursor seem to be an off and on thing and that they came back with a vengeance for some users with the new updates. I've been enduring them but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any fixes or upcoming fixes. The biggest problems are in Safari; the cursor constantly says it will open a page and proceeds to close it instead, or occasionally opens a page instead of closing it, opens a page that isn't the one it says it's going to open and VO has to be turned off in order to get to the desired page, the cursor moving up a list of tabs that are open when one page is closed, and other things I'm sure I'm forgetting. The cursor in general also likes to jump between apps when I'm trying to switch between them, telling me I'm about to open one app and then opening a different one almost at random. I'm using a new iPhone XR and I didn't have any of these problems initially but now they're worse than anything I've ever dealt with from my old iPhone 6. I've restarted my phone many times with no changes. Am I just one of the very unlucky people who's VO got bricked in the update to iOS 12? If anybody has any advice, I'd appreciate it!
