Re: Determining what settings in group policy are causing NVDA to not pick up data from controols
Hi Luke,
<snip The issue goes away if you install as an admin user. PL] HMM, I was running the installer with elevated privilege's and not as an administrative user. You make a very interesting point. I wonder how to determine whether the problem is NVDA or the installer? Pranav

However I do know, that some installers, when run as a non-admin user who then has to elevate using a password, do not work correctly. I have found this, for example, with NotepadPlusPlus, among others. The issue goes away if you install as an admin user. Luke

extra verbage in g mail
mcLeod stinnett
-
from mack using win 7 64 bit with latest NVDA. I must have checked a box in prefferances. using the wev interface with chrome to read my emails in G mail. every time I check the box to delete messages in the inbox or in the trash folder, and then perform the delete function, NVDA says "alert, click to learn" No bid deal really, I can still do everything I need to do, just wondering why the extra verbage and can I turn it off, thanks.

Re: problem with search edit box in folders
Robert Logue
I think there are advantages to needing to press enter in search. Some screen readers would start talking to much. And:Slow computers would have trouble keeping up when it would start searching as soon as you type.

Even my very fast laptop with ssd would really struggle and NVDA would talk to much and I'd loose focus. It would be nice to have the option to switch behaviors. Bob

I've had to press enter for a while now. Not sure when it started but maybe an update or so ago for me (and I'm still on 1909). But alt-tab? That is strange. You mean there is a separate window coming up? Or are results not showing up until you return to your initial file explorer window..maybe not being recognised by nVDA?

Re: issues with quick nav of thunderbird and NVDA
David Goldfield
This interests me because I also notice similar behavior with version 3.0 of this addon. The addon appears to work as expected until I restart TB. Upon restarting TB the addon is still enabled but the addon itself acts as if it has been disabled. First letter navigation does not move to the relevant folder and the addon's option does not appear in the context menu. If I go into addon settings and disable the addon and then enable it the addon works properly once again until I close and restart TB. I wrote to the addon author who was unable to reproduce the issue. I then asked about it on the Thunderbird support list and was given a suggestion which didn't work for me. I have reinstalled TB as well as removed and then reinstalled the addon.

Re: NVDA read-to-end
Robert Logue
I've done just this so many times till I finally realized the difference in layouts. I have a laptop and a desktop and keep switching and forgetting keystrokes.
I need to be careful using nvda plus a to read to end while in
thunderbird as a alone archives a message.

Yeah, but with the newest version there are still issues. I
have to go in and disable and then re-enable the extension every time I bring up Thunderbird.
I wish someone could do something about it because it is getting irritating. ;)

Re: Extra verbosity in Thunderbird
Hello all, I also have the status bar of Thunderbird showing in the program's main window and I don't observe the described behavior. But I'm reading messages from the main window of Thunderbird (via the message list and the message pane). Most screen reader users seam to read messages in a separate window. And we come to the main thing here - the option to show/hide the status bar in Thunderbird is independent for the separate Thunderbird windows like the main window, the optional separate window for message reading, the message composer window, etc. So, if you've disabled the status bar from within Thunderbird's main window, it will not affect its behavior for the message reading window and it will probably still be visible in it. And if you're reading messages from within that message reading window, this may be why you still hear those messages - the status bar is still shown for the message reading window. Mind you, this automatic speaking of status bar messages should
not be happening even with the status bar shown It was fixed for
the main window of Thunderbird, but not for the other windows like
the ones for message reading and for composing a message. This
should be reported to and fixed by the Thunderbird developers. Has
anyone done that? If not, I may do it these days. The only place
that I find this automatic speaking of status bar messages useful
is in the a"Advanced Search" window, where thanks to those
messages I know the status of the performed search, without
needing to manually read the status bar. ______ На 31.8.2020 г. в 22:07, Hope

Extra verbosity in Thunderbird
Robert Logue
I'm reading messages in TB but am now getting extra verbiage such as notifications about what TB is doing while NVDA is automatically reading the new message.
Reads something like this: I bolded the extra verbage. Moved 9 messages from NVDA to Trash

Re: issues with quick nav of thunderbird and NVDA
Bob,
I would uninstall and reinstall Quick Folder Navigation if the version you have went in a long while ago. There have been some recent updates related to compatibility with the more recent versions of Thunderbird. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 2004, Build 19041 A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally. ~ Oscar Wilde

I notice the folders list does not speak after TB updates. I go to add-ons and check Quick Folder Key Navigation and make sure it is working and enabled.

I don't know why it says "loading" all the time. I have TB 68.12.0 (32-bit Windows Version 1909 NVDA 2020.2 I hope TB doesn't mess up when I get Win 2004.

Insert function dialog in Excel 2016: Autocomplete edit box working with JAWS but not with NVDA (user report)
Iván Novegil
Hi all.
An user has sent us an issue I haven't been able to reproduce, with Excel 2016, and before openning it on GitHub I would like to have your thoughts on this, specially in order to detect the reproducibility pattern. When this user opens the Insert function dialog (Formula ribbon), the focus is in the "Find a function" text box, that allows to write part of the function name and find it after pressing the "Go" button. However, the user says that when using JAWS she can move up and down directly from the text box to navigate around the result lists, as if it were an auto-completion edit box. I don't have JAWS installed so I tested it with Narrator, and the
description for the field is clear, something such as "Type
function's name and press go", so no auto-completion facility
there.
Thanks! Regards. --
