Re: Additional info about NVDA speaking stuff in Thunderbird when Thunderbird does not have focus
Mary Otten
Thanks, Brian. I’m just not technically savvy enough to know what is extra, or what is already understood in the initial report about the status bar etc. So thank you. On Apr 10, 2020, at 8:53 PM, Brian Vogel <britechguy@...> wrote:

I just went in to the Thunderbird Bug that Shaun Everiss filed in Bugzilla, and added the following, based on your input: Even when the Thunderbird window does not have active focus, the status bar has been disabled, and NVDA is on, NVDA is still reporting when messages are being downloaded, which was not occurring in the past.
I do not know whether the ARIA fix for the status bar is related to this, but wanted to note the behavior for developers.
-- Additional details about what Thunderbird is speaking, and shouldn't be speaking or didn't speak before, other than what has been identified already is valuable information. If others have information like this it's fine to offer it here and, if you can and have Bugzilla account, append a comment to the previously noted bug. It's information the developers need.

Additional info about NVDA speaking stuff in Thunderbird when Thunderbird does not have focus
Mary Otten
When the topic of Thunderbird speaking too much came up, someone was wondering about whether it would do that if the Thunderbird window did not have focus. I can attest to the fact that if Thunderbird does not have focus, it will still tell you when messages are being downloaded. This is with the status bar not checked. I have no idea if that eventuality is covered by what has been talked about regarding the area role. I’m just putting it here in case it’s important, and if not, if it’s already been covered, I’m sorry.

Re: Reading messages list in Mozilla Thunderbird
Marie,
Here are the Thunderbird Columns, as currently ordered on my machine, and they are not in the default order, along with whether they are ON (displayed) or OFF (hidden): Read ON
Thread ON
Starred ON
Attachment ON
From ON (AKA Sender)
Subject ON - and not able to be turned off
Recipient OFF (AKA To)
Correspondents ON
Junk Status OFF
Received OFF (Date Received)
Date ON (Date Sent, most often this and Received are the same)
All of the columns after Date are OFF
Status
Size
Tag
Account
Priority
Unread
Total
Location
Order Received
When you have opened Options, the above column list is followed by the controls:
Restore Column Order (to Thunderbird Default Order)
Apply Columns To (which I have never used, but it allows you to apply your settings above to other folders in Thunderbird)

Re: Reading messages list in Mozilla Thunderbird
Marie <magpie.mn@...>
If I missed a further explanation on rearranging the message header, I apologize. I install the Mozilla add on but when I invoke the NVDA H, there is no listing for a sender? and it shows the subject as in the fourth position?

Re: Speak password nvda add-on can't be install
From the Report Passwords Add-On Page:
How to configureThe add-on can be configured from its category in the NVDA's settings dialog, under NVDA's menu, Preferences submenu. A gesture for opening the add-on settings panel can be assigned from Input gestures dialog, configuration category. Tip: If you have not configured NVDA to speak typed characters or words but want to hear typed text in passwords, you may create a configuration profile to enable the speaking of typed characters and passwords, and assign it to a gesture or create a trigger to enable it automatically in certain situations. For convenience, NVDA will ask if you want to create a dedicated profile when the add-on is installed. --Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Re: Thunderbird issue update (comments should be sent to GitHub): changes to Thunderbird is responsible for annoying status bar announcements
Well, according to the last bug update, someone identified the issue, and now another person has sighted the right wcag guideline so they acknowledged the issue. This person is asking the guy that put out last nights note if he will take the job on fixing it, so, its possible that we could see a fix within the next week or so, who knows. The bug has been fixed, now they need to assign someone to handle the issue of fixing it. I'd imagine that once that has been done, we can move to wards a solution. The reason and solution have allready been implemented at least on paper so to speak and the right articles sighted on it. So I shouldn't think it will take that much longer to fix and upload a fresh build. I also got another message saying that there are not enough nvda users testing daily builds. Now for obvious reasons if you guys listened to mine and jean's conversations about what happened the last time I tested unstable builds of anything on a single machine, I would feel unsafe testing nightly builds of everything especially since I don't have a system that I can dedicate to software testing as such, certainly not a system I could dedicate to actual testing, at least not one with adiquit power, something I could get up, build, test, and if it screws reformat and rebuild again. Thats not saying that I won't try to get a system that I can do that to, but that may have to be in the future. And while I do have virtual machine software, I don't have enough space to host more than 1 virtual machine, and certainly I don't have the space to host an instance of a machine for a long time longer than 24-48 hours, pluss a windows vertual on my system still has a few issues. I don't have a licence to put on my vm so unless I either get an alegal one or search round for my win7 key for another system I have about so I can upgrade it then who knows. I don't want to transpose my ms account licence of win10 over to a test unit and it gets all kinds of complicated. I do have some room for a test box, and well who knows.

Brian thank you very much for your detailed explanation

If you don't have the Thunderbird add-on, Quick Folder Key Navigation, installed I suggest you get that, too. Instructions follow. IMPORTANT: For those using Thunderbird with a screen reader I strongly suggest installing the Quick Folder Key Navigation extension. You will only need to install this extension once for any instance of Thunderbird you might be using. This allows you to jump from folder in the folder tree using first letter navigation to move between them. Without it, this does not always work. You will only need to install this extension once for any instance of Thunderbird you might be using. If you are using JAWS or NVDA, searching for this add on within Thunderbird is quite simple: · Activate the Tools Menu (ALT+T), add-ons option (followed by A) and tab 3 times, at which point you should be on the Extensions Pane. If you happen to land on any other pane then use Down Arrow (or Up Arrow) until you hear Extensions. · Tab 2 times, which lands you in the search all add-ons edit box. · Then type in Quick Folder Key Navigation, hit enter, and wait a few seconds for the search to complete. · Tab 5 times more gain focus on the list of results. Then hit Down Arrow to start navigating the list. Quick Folder Key Navigation should be the first result. · Tab 2 times to land on the Install button then hit enter. · After the install completes you need to exit Thunderbird and start it up again for this extension to become active -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Welcome to using a beta but this is the point isn't it?Bless you, truly, for understanding the centrality and criticality of that point. Many seem to thing that using beta software is about "being ahead of the curve" before the hoi polloi get there, and even I will admit to trying beta software for that purpose and that purpose alone, but always briefly. If you're serious about using beta software as an "almost constant" then you are implicitly agreeing to be a tester, and that always includes the obligation to report issues. Heaven knows that with what little exposure I had helping someone who unintentionally got on to 70b3 get off of it, there are lots and lots of issues with Tbird and NVDA that appear, based on what I know now, to be on the Tbird end. Let's hope that they get identified and ironed out during beta and never make it to production. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Re: Reading messages list in Mozilla Thunderbird
Brian Moore
Hi. I am no expert and based on the log output, it would seem this is on thunderbird end. Have a few theories to test but will file a bug with thunderbird. This is completely separate than the ARIA-role-status for the status bar which is what is causing all the extra verbosity. Welcome to using a beta but this is the point isn't it?
Shall see what I can do.

Mr. Moore, are you a developer for Thunderbird? Just asking based on your "poke/fix" comment.
Even if you're not, if you beta test and report issues, not being able to use the Mozilla Apps Enhancement method to move columns is a big break from many past versions of Thunderbird, and likely the issue is on their end. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Power is being told you're not loved and not being destroyed by it. ~ Madonna

Re: check boxes dont' work in sim tool kit pro

I’m sorry, but I can’t download a application to try and copy your symptoms. We might get a hint at what is going on though with the NVDA-F1 function. Can you paste the last 20 or so lines from that output?
From:
nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> External email alert: Be wary of links & attachments. An odd subject but not necessarily true. I don't really know how to explain this one. This is an electron app by the way so I don't really know if this is a chrome thing or not. steps
resultsNotice that links don't work, check boxes can't be checked and edit fields can't be typed into, only in that particular applet. The rest of the links in the app work. The developer is a bit stumped as to why this is not working. If someone can tell me what to say to him, or can contact him on their discord which can be found in the dash board, please let me know. He wants to make the app accessible but does not know what he is doing. He has nvda but has not even I don't think tired to fix this. It is not on his list to fix now, but it will be soon.

Have You same problem with Thunderbird?
Hello.
I have a question. Have You encountered problem, that NVDA reads everything in Thunderbird from status bar? I think, that It'll be good to contact Mozilla for this thing. Ofcourse, another good option is to turn off status bar. But I think, that good thing is to contact thunderbird. Thank You. Marco |
