 ### Fixed
 
+- VoiceOver reliability: grid selection changes are announced to all assistive technologies (not only when VoiceOver was already on), the drop and truncate dialog toggles describe their effect, and the favorite query editor is labeled. (#1490)
 - Tab moves keyboard focus between the window panes (sidebar, results, inspector) by rebuilding the key view loop when the window appears. (#1490)
 - The license activation sheet focuses the key field on open, the SQL review sheet closes with Escape even while the editor has focus, and the integration token sheet focuses its Done button. (#1490)
 - Copy with Headers now has a default keyboard shortcut (Cmd+Option+C), so it works and is discoverable from the keyboard instead of showing in the Edit menu with no key. (#1490)
