but this isn’t an NVDA problem. I suspect there is some way that
speech is being forced, perhaps as in Chrome during downloads. It would be
interesting as a test to move away from the program window while something is
changing such as when downloading messages to see if NVDA still speaks whatever
speech is occuring in the window. In Chrome when a file is downloading,
speech is forced whether you are in the program window or not.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Thunderbird talking way too
much Hi
Brian, Your analysis is probably correct, but I am wondering just why the issue didn't exist in versions of Thunderbird earlier than 60.9. Remember, before that time, the status line was visible, but screen readers: JAWS and NVDA didn't report all dynamic changes. It was there and you could read it with the hotkey for status line. With the reintroduction of the status line, we now have this problem. I wonder if NVDA programers can do something to change this--perhaps coming up with some sort of display silently and invoking reading with hotkey. On 4/9/2020 10:38 AM, Brian Vogel wrote:
My guess is that the good folks at Thunderbird had gotten complaints that it was impossible to know, for instance, whether all new e-mail had completed downloading when you fired up T-bird at the start of the day, and decided to expose a lot more information presented on the status bar to the screen reader. -- They Ask Me If I'm Happy; I say Yes.
