To my knowledge, back in the day at least, I thought status bars were incredibly common and present in most applications. I had a bunch of programs open and decided to issue the read status bar command (NVDA+Shift+End on a laptop) to see what happened. The results are below: * Wordpad: "No status line found" * Windows Explorer: "No status line found" * Stata: "j" * Microsoft Edge: "No status line found" * Word for Microsoft 365: "Status Bar Page Number Page 2 of 32 Word Count 2728 words Spelling and Grammar Check Errors Text Predictions Text Predictions: On Accessibility Checker Accessibility: Investigate Focus Read Mode Print Layout Web Layout Zoom Out Zoom 160 Zoom In Zoom 160%" after a 2.5 second delay * Wordweb: "wordweb.info" In this experiment, most programs gave no valuable information. In the one program that did have a meaningful status bar, NVDA took a solid 2.5 seconds to read it. Are status bars truly becoming obsolete? Or does this hint at an issue in NVDA's read status bar command? I would appreciate any thoughts and inputs.
