Thanks - I wasn't aware of that option. Restarting NVDA seemed to fix it in Windows Subsystem for Linux, but not in the msysv2 console.

Is Caret moves review cursor (NVDA+6) on?

Jason,

 

Do you absolutely need the Windows subsystem for Linux to accomplish
your goals? Can you accomplish what you need through PowerShell, the
Cygwin terminal, MSYS, or Git BASH?

 

Best regards,

Mike

terminal applications

 

I've been trying to use NVDA 2018.2.1 in terminal applications such as
the Windows Subsystem for Linux. The BrailleExtender add-on is loaded,
and highly desirable. It's configured by default to ensure that the
braille display tracks the review position in terminal applications.

 

Unfortunately, the review position isn't following the system cursor.
Thus, for example, if I issue a command that generates several lines
on the terminal, and the cursor moves to the  new prompt that
immediately follows this output, the review position isn't moved
forward

with it.

 

All of the NVDA preferences related to navigation seem to be set
correctly as far as I can tell (I haven't changed them from the
defaults, as it's a new installation on an up to date Windows 10
version
1803 system).

 

Have I neglected to change a setting, or is there a deeper problem here?
Suggestions about likely causes and solutions would be most welcome.
