Hi,
What you're describing is the behavior of emoji panel in Version 1803. Can you try with all add-ons turned off (from exit dialog, select restart with add-ons disabled)?
Cheers,
Joseph

OK, let's see if this works. No, if I shift tab from most recent I get "search emoji", then continuing to shift tab I get the categories like "transportation", but if I use the arrows, it just does "1 of 250" and so on.

Hi


I just noticed now when you are on the recent one if you shift/tab now
it gives you the categories where now you right or left arrow to them
then press the enter key on the one you want then shift tab or tab to
get to the list of them. it seems to be speaking mine out correctly.


it seems like a slight modification to the tutorial.

Just tested the beta, and it doesn't read emojis, at least for me,
with any synthesizer. I get X of Y, e.g. 1 of 50, 2 of 50, and so on.
This happens even with the one-core voices, which used to read more
emojis than any other synthesizer. This happens whether the copy is
installed or portable. Windows 10 64-bit, latest upates, not 1809
though. Here's the log from when I try to get to an emoji to put into
this message in Thunderbird.
