Quentin and William,
Step 7 describes what I experience
every time when sorting a document in excel.
I am using Office 2016 in Windows 10
and latest NVDA – all latest versions.
This is a noisy and unnecessary
babble of information. I always press the left alt key to
silence it so that I can actually hear the options in the
next drop down box.
I can also replicate this when I move away
from the spreadsheet to another application and swing back
again with alt+tab. This generates the full text that William
describes.
The elements I hear are:
1.The Sheet title followed by the addition
of "dash Excel"
2. Then "unavailable"
3.Then "Sort dialog, Sort widnow"
4. Then "Data Grid"
5. Then "Sort data Item 1 of 1"
6. Then "Order combo box, smallest to
largest collapsed"
If I do not change the three boxes, "order
by" "sort on" or "order", I do not get this echo as I tab from
combo box to combo box.
However, as soon as I activate any one of
these combo boxes, I get the full whack of all six elements
described above when I tab away from the combo box.
If I keep the alt key pressed when I press
alt +tab to return to the Excel window from another
application window, I hear the sheet title plus "dash Excel"
but no mention of "Unavailable". However, when I let go the
alt key, I then get the repetition of the Title and all six
parts of the announcement.
This is an awful lot of verbiage and it has
no value to me as a user.
All the best,
Cearbhall

I can replicate the first part - although
just to confirm, the data itself is still read, it's just
that you get the extra unnecessary list box list item
information as well, correct?
For the next part, step 7, I couldn't
replicate that, but maybe I was doing it slightly
differently.
Hello,
1. Open any excel file
2. filled the worksheet with some data with the first row
as the header
3. select all existing data by ctrl +a
4. go to data tab, press sort button
5. tab to any of the dropdown menu
6. press up or down arrow, every time when I press up or
down arrow, nvda
will say list box list xxxx
7. after I have selected one of the item and press tab,
nvda will repeat
the name of the current worksheet and says excel
unavailable, followed
by the next item.
Would you please comment on whether this is a nvda or
excel problem? Thanks.
William
