Unable to move windows, ancore windows, and edit my immersive home with Screen Reader

I am using the experimental Screen Reader for Quest, because I am totally blind. While in immersive home, if I press the menu button on my left controller nothing happens, so I currently cannot edit the virtual environment in my home. I can't even access contextual menus for, for example: apps in the library, because the menu button does not respond when the Screen Reader is turned on. 

When I open a window, I can successfully close it by getting to the control bar, pressing the A button to focus in, move the thumbstick upwards, and pressing the trigger on "Close. I can even view the "Ancore" button to pin the window in a certain position in the space, but I have no idea where the window is, and I cannot reach for the drag handle to move it freely in the space. 

Since I want to ancore my windows in the different rooms, is walking to the position I want the window to be open, open the window and ancoring it remaining still a workaround? Do the windows open in front of me anytime, so I can do this, or I have to be able to move the windows if I want them to be ancored? 

I Hope Meta finds a solution to let me know where the window is located, and to let me bring the window around, even with the screen reader turned on; i want to use the headset mainly for multitasking. I just filled out the feedback form in the Meta Accessibility Website. Waiting for a response from here.

    Hi there @KarimSuperBlind04, we came across your post and wanted to offer some assistance.

     

    As you're aware, the screen reader is an experimental feature. 

     

    We'd advise ensuring that your headset is up to date. With the latest software update, the new Immersive Home was introduced which allows users to customize their space. 

     

    There is currently a new software update which you can access via the Public Test Channel.
