Folks,
In the speed test, does MBPS mean megabytes per second, or megabits per second?

Hello, This is beta, but it is good enough. It is based on HTML5 technology, if I'm not mistaking. Find the link labeled "GO!" and activate it. The internet speed test will start. You'll be notified when it is completed and the results from it. But you can manually read the results on the page - find the link labeled "Again" and read the information after it - it contains the test results. Note, that if you are using Firefox for the testing, NVDA may get a lot chatty during the test and repeat that the test is over 50% completed a lot of times. Use Internet Explorer to do the testing if you don't want to hear all that chattiness - it does not occur in it. Hmm, could this chattiness be a Firefox issue? Maybe we should report it? ______

Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
Chris, NVDA Find is: NVDA Key + CTRL + F NVDA Find Next is: NVDA + F3 NVDA Find Previous is: NVDA + Shift + F3 Essentially, it's precisely the same as a regular find but with NVDA Key added (except, perhaps, for previous, as I've never tried the Shift modifier outside a screen reader) This is all in the Browse Mode section of the Commands Quick Reference.

Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgilland07@...>
I, too have a question regarding NVDA searching.
Let's say I'm on a website, and I want to do a search for the word, "download."
However, I need the second instance on the page of this text.
I know I can hit NVDA+CTRL+F to initiate the first
find, type in the word download, and hit enter. But then, what I've been doing
is to then hit NvDA+ctrl+F, then download will already be still filled in, so
I'll just hit enter to then find the next occurance.
Is there an easier way? I tried the standard
hititng F3, and also NVDA+CTRL+F3, etc. basically all combinations that I can
think of. No matter what I try, I cannot seem to find the find next, and find
previous commands which are specific to NVDA's find functionality.
I'm using the desktop layout if that
helps.
I've already looked in the key reference
documentation, but I'm undoubtedly missing something.
Chris.

That being said, when two random users are seeing the same behavior on different machines under the same circumstances where there are no obvious other problems the direction that points is, "general problem." If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, the most likely thing it is will be a duck, though there are other less probable fits as well. Also, right now, the general issue I'm concerned about is the fact that issuing the NVDA find command is not triggering the NVDA find on the Gmail Inbox page after I've done a Gmail find and the first NVDA find. I can replicate that reliably and have no reason to believe it's idiosyncratic based on the absence of other idiosyncracies.

This may be a problem on your machine and not a
general one.
I don't know what part of the log might be relevant
but there may be relevant information in the log.

We don't know if it's a general problem. Do
you have Firefox? If not, all we know is that on your machine, there is no
problem using Chrome. But we don't know if there would be a problem using
firefox. I'd have to experiment to see what behavior I get on my machine
using both the newest NVDA and the newest Firefox.

Also, as of this morning, just now, I'm back to the *%$&^ behavior where when I'm hitting INS+CTRL+F I am not ever getting the NVDA search dialog box but always having the Firefox page search bar come up at the bottom of the screen. This is immensely frustrating for me and I cannot even begin to imagine the orders of magnitude of additional frustration that would be added were I depending on this to behave in a predictable way to actually get work done. -- Brian He discloses the workings of a mind to which incoherence lends an illusion of profundity. ~ T.

Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
Gene
NVDA often places you at your previous position
when you leave and return to a page. I don't have a good enough
picture to be sure just what you are trying to do but it may be that the
situation can be solved by issuing a top of page command while in browse mode
before doing the second search. In other words, control home then do the
search. I often do a control home when I want to search from the top of a
page regardless of what I have or haven't done before to make sure I am
searching from the top. It depends. If I'm on a page I've done
nothing on and it's just loaded, I often don't use the top of page command but
if I want to be sure I'll search from the top of page and not inadvertently
search from farther down, I may. Rather than worry about what may be
farther down from my current position, if I'm on a page where I've done much of
any moving around, I often do a top of page command just so I know exactly where
I'm starting from. It takes almost no time and standardizes where I start
a search.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in
search function Gene, I can't honestly answer the "is it only Gmail's page" question because I do these kinds of intensive explorations pretty much in response to either a specific client need or a question that pops up on the groups. I can say that I am probably not "moving to the top of the page" insofar as forcing that via NVDA. I would think that when I go back to the Gmail search box, which is both very near the top of the visible page and clearly before the "Select Menu Button" in the virtual the first cycle around that this should return me to the same position in the virtual page as I was in when entering the first set of Gmail search criteria. That's why this leaves me so perplexed. Since part of this is performing a new Gmail search, which results in a reloaded Gmail page of results, I'd also rationally believe that the virtual page is being reloaded and I should be placed at the beginning, but it appears that's not happening. However, further research is needed. This is why I turn to you all who actually use NVDA day in and day out, because I recognize that I could be making a mistake that I have absolutely no idea I'm making because I'm not a "real user" and no one who isn't ever develops the "in the gut" ease and facility that a day-in-day-out user of any technology does. Yesterday, on a completely
different issue elsewhere, I was introduced to the Principle of Least Astonishment and that's what I'm
experiencing a seeming violation of in this instance. But it could be
stupid user error, and I need to eliminate that as a root cause first. He discloses the workings of a mind to which incoherence lends an illusion of profundity. ~ T. De Vere White

Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
If someone wants a log all they need to do is tell me how to force NVDA to create one, where it will be located, and what it's name structure will be and I'll be happy to generate one. I have absolutely no doubt that I am in browse mode and am pressing INS+CTRL+F. I've tried it too many times and have taken both possibly having missed mode change and fat fingering the NVDA search key sequence into account. Neither is a factor.
