FIXED,

I had the problem. It occurred when I was trying to zoom text.

This is what I did.

went into Accessibility - Zoom - and turned off “Follow focus”.

My “zoom” showed “off” but my “Follow Focus” was turned on. Once I turned that off, the focus magnifier circle has not returned. must be a program glitch.

Hope this is settled.

** NOT FIXED **


The circle repaired today I checked the follow focus is still turned off. This feature must be handled by the individual program and not part of Accessibility. My Numbers version is 14.2. I checked, and it’s the latest version..


Here is a mini tutorial:

After you write something and then want to edit it, just hold your finger down on where you want the cursor to be. The magnifier (little green circle) will appear. As you move your finger, the magnifier will move over the text and show you where the cursor is. When you get to the part, you want to start editing, simply lift your finger and the magnifier goes away and leaves the cursor. from there you can change your word add some more text or delete text. try it on one of your posts. It takes a little getting used to but after you’ve mastered it, it’s really quite easy.
