I do also know that NVDA key + number row 5 is meant to turn on reporting of dynamic content changes, but, it won't always work, partly since, at times, the webpages document-object-model will be rather extensive.
Either way, I had just thought/assumed that it was offering/implementing a form of virtual page buffer refresh, but anyway - will play around with other keystrokes, alt+tabbing away from window, and back to it, etc. etc.
Stay well

I believe it does reload the document, because, as I recall, I think it takes too long than to just refresh the buffer. If so, it is doing the same thing as just f5. Of course, if you reload the document, you are reloading the buffer. But try turning browse mode off and then on with NVDA key space. This may just refresh the buffer. If NVDA key f5 is explained in the manual, I don't know where. It isn't discussed in the browse mode section. It is probably mentioned in the quick reference guide, but it may well not clarify what it does.

This is something I think has been going on across a few versions of NVDA now, and, just wanted to confirm that it's not me that's confused.
I am currently making use of Version: alpha-15854,a8bda064, FWIW.
Anyway, I was under the impression that, for example, in a web browser, the hotkey combination of NVDA + F5 should repopulate the virtual buffer rendition of the page contents - I do need this at times since I work with dynamic web contents - but, it seems to, literally, just reload the page as if you'd clicked on something like the browsers own refresh button, or as if you'd in fact told NVDA that the next keypress should be passed directly through to the operating system?
Or am I incorrect in having thought it only repopulated a form of virtual buffer for the webpage?
TIA
