Up through yesterday, I had no trouble buying Kindle books through Amazon. Things were labeled, and easily findable. Today the area of the page where the buying options are seems to have changed. There is now a new heading called "Buying Options." It's the first heading on the page. The interesting thing about this heading is that there is no number associated with it. Instead of saying "heading level 1," as the heading below it says, all is says is "heading." I think the buy and read now links, along with the price that used to be readily visible are now hidden inside the new "heading" area. Arrowing down once leads to the "add to list" checkbox. This has been confirmed both in Firefox 64 and Chrome 64 using Windows 7 64-bit and NVDA 2018.2.1. If anyone else can confirm, and can have any idea on how to deal with this, that would be appreciated. Here's an example. For the US, this book is free at least today, hence why I chose it, so trying to buy it won't cost anybody any money. And, yes, the page is the same whether a book is free or not:

Re: NVDA + F5 hotkey doing an actual document reload
Gene
To test whether NVDA f5 is refreshing the page or
just the buffer, you should disconnect from the Internet while a page is in the
browser. If numpad f5 produces a page not found message, then it is
refreshing the page itself, which refreshes the buffer, but it is not just
refreshing the buffer. If, on the other hand, NVDA f5 refreshes and starts
to read the page when not connected to the Internet, then we know that the
command is refreshing the buffer and not the actual page.

ConfigObj 5.1.0: different import paths causes some add-ons to fail to initialize
Hi all,
The second of a series of advisories regarding what’s happening with NVDA 2018.4:
As of today’s alpha build, ConfigObj has been upgraded to 5.1.0. The biggest change, apart from ConfigObj being source-compatible with Python 3, is the new import path for validate module. Unfortunately, the module that is supposed to be part of NVDA wasn’t added, which causes Remote Support, Vocalizer and other add-ons that rely on validate routines to fail to initialize. NVDA developers are aware of this and plans to fix this as soon as possible.
Cheers, Joseph

I'm sure there is a temporary fixed version somewhere, that Joseph made while waiting for the bigger changes that a new version of Python will require from this add on. the original redevelopers, or at least one of them have showed interest, but I doubt they will do much while its only wx4 which is the issue if a complete rewrite might be needed a couple of months on.

Checkable list boxes comes to NVDA, it will make its debut as early as end of this year
Hi everyone,
This is first of a series of two advisories regarding changes coming in NVDA 2018.4 that’ll affect everyone (the second advisory, which is more important than this one, is next):
Checkable list boxes comes to NVDA. A checkable list box is a list of checkboxes laid out vertically so you can select one or more items by checking checkboxes. The best known example of this control is Disk Cleanup where you can select items to delete once cleanup scan results are returned.
Prior to this, NVDA users and developers could not use this control due to accessibility issues. A combination of MSAA events and a property server implementation resolves this (developed by a third-party contributor,. Not me). At the moment this new control has scaling issues with high DPI (dots per inch) displays, but it doesn’t affect how it works. A corresponding scaling problem was filed on wxPython GitHub repo at: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/963
As a result of introduction of checkable list boxes, the following changes has been made or under planning phase:
Changed:
Planned:
Thank you. Cheers, Joseph

Patreon accessibility input
Since Patreon has denied our requests to consider accessibility, for years, mind you, by the way, this page does a good job of explaining what Patreon is, Our lawyer wants to hear from disabled users who want to either donate to others but can't, or who had issues with the service in general, as a disabled person, not just the blind and the visually impaired. He wants to hear from creators too. Share the below contact info widely! Thanks.

Re: NVDA and AMD processors
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
NVDA makes no distinction between intel or amd processors, it's written (mainly) in python, which is an interpreted language, and it doesn't care if it's an intel, AMD, arm processor, or something entirely different, as long as the interpreter works, python doesn't care, as a result, NVDA shouldn't care either.

Re: NVDA + F5 hotkey doing an actual document reload
Jacob Kruger
Problem with standard F5 keystroke is that almost every single browser will then just reload the page from scratch, losing all DHTML content changes.
I do also know that NVDA key + number row 5 is meant to turn on reporting of dynamic content changes, but, it won't always work, partly since, at times, the webpages document-object-model will be rather extensive.
Either way, I had just thought/assumed that it was offering/implementing a form of virtual page buffer refresh, but anyway - will play around with other keystrokes, alt+tabbing away from window, and back to it, etc. etc.
Stay well

Re: NVDA + F5 hotkey doing an actual document reload

I believe it does reload the document, because, as
I recall, I think it takes too long than to just refresh the buffer.
If so, it is doing the same thing as just f5. Of course, if you reload the
document, you are reloading the buffer. But try turning browse mode off
and then on with NVDA key space. This may just refresh the
buffer.
If NVDA key f5 is explained in the manual, I don't
know where. It isn't discussed in the browse mode section. It is
probably mentioned in the quick reference guide, but it may well not clarify
what it does.

Re: NVDA FireFox and PDF Incompatibility
Gene
Since Docuscan is an OCR program, it sounds to me
as though you are performing OCR on every PDF document you open. This
takes extra time; it may take a good deal of extra time. There are times,
I don't work with PDF documents enough to know how often, that this will correct
or reduce decolumnization problems. That is, at times, just reading a PDF
document that is in columns misplaces text significantly. OCR can at
times, correct or mostly eliminate the problem. but it also introduces
errors and is not the original document, if you need the original document for
some reason, such as for legal reasons.
In short, instead of having an OCR program
recognize every PDF document, you might to better to have an actual PDF reader
display files, then decide if you want to perform OCR on them. Your
newspaper may or may not display properly without OCR. If it doesn't need
OCR, you will eliminate errors in recognition and you will have the document
ready faster, perhaps much faster.
If it does need OCR, it may be most efficient to
have it recognized by Docuscan rather than by downloading it first. But
there may be times when you would be better served temporarily changing the
setting to work with another program.

This is something I think has been going on across a few versions of NVDA now, and, just wanted to confirm that it's not me that's confused.
