Comment (by Gab Nino):

 Hello,
 Rian asked me to test this issue with VoiceOver.
 Here are my comments :

 Tools: Safari 8.0.6 + VoiceOver, OS X Yosemite.
 Wordpress version tested: http://pctje.xs4all.nl/nightly/wp-
 admin/post.php?post=1153&action=edit

 I just finished testing Cyndy's issue with Safari + VoiceOver.
 I got the same problem. The bug reproduced as soon as I click in one of
 the links: All categories and Most used.
 When the user choose one of those two options, there is something messing
 up with the “focus” of the list (ul id=”categorychecklist”) and its
 elements not enabling VoiceOver to get inside of the chosen category list
 using VO+Right Arrow. It's like the list is not there, so the user jumps
 from the links All categories and Most used directly to Add new category
 link and vice-verse.
 Cyndy said she found a way to bypass this bug. She returns to the Category
 header (h3 element) and after for some miraculous reason VoiceOver is able
 again to move inside the category list items. And yes, this bypass worked
 for me too. But I realized that if I move from one element on the page to
 another using only the up/down arrows also fixes the problem. E.g. if I
 move from Most used link to Add a new category link allow me to come back
 to the categories list using VO+Right/left Arrow.

 I have no clue what could be causing the bug, but definitely it is there.
 I could not find either the Select/Deselect All button, but the issue is
 not related at all with it. The problem seems to be at the Wordpress core
 and not related to a plugin installation.

 I've prepared a video to accompany my observations.
