Hi Gene,
In one of the previous messages I sent, I postulated that I might
have changed some settings that caused the issue in the first place.
You can make quick changes to Let's see, I'll press each one of
these as I write this:
insert + 2 speak typed characters toggle on/off
insert + keyboard 3 speak typed words toggle on/off
insert+ keyboard 4 toggle command keys on/off
insert + keyboard 5 report dynamic changes toggle on/off
insert +keyboard 6 carrot moves review cursor toggle on/off
insert + keyboard 7focus moves navigator object toggle on/off
insert + keyboard 8 automatically set system focus to focus able
elements on/off
Three of these settings had been turned off. I turned two of them
back on and the problem went away. The only one I don't have on is
the speak command keys item. That's a pain if it's on.

I can't tell what you are describing. You can use either
insert, the numpad insert or the other insert but you must use
the keys on the numpad for hearing what we are discussing.

Thunderbird
Hi Gene,
I am using a desktop PC. I pressed the insert key and then
keyboard
(not numpad) numbers on the top line of the keyboard numbers 2
through 8.
