The visited link is a standare web browser thing. Not sure what it shows visually if their are visited links, but yes all screen readers encluding NVDA as you already know announce these.

What key strokes eliminate the announcement of visited link? I assume you don’t have to have it. I am using NVDA. Marilyn

Doesn't JAWS do this as well?

Re: Microsoft Edge Suddenly Less Accessible with NVDA
Hi everyone, No, this is not an add-on issue. I just tried searching for something with Google via Edge 97 and received a traceback that ends with COM error, and the traceback does not point to add-on code (if it did, a code fragment from the add-on will be printed). It turns out switching to Chrome might not be a good idea at this time - I tried the same thing with Chrome and received the same COM error traceback. In fact, NV Access is aware of this issue that began when Chromium 97 based browsers hit the stable channel as shown in the following NVDA issue: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/13223 Therefore, I can tell you all that you are not alone. Cheers, Joseph

I was not a JAWS user so have no idea to this question. WindowEyes and now NVDA were far easier for me to use.

Re: NVDA 2021.3.1 cursor doesn't move in Google product edit fields
If, at some point, when someone is certain that they can consistently replicate the behavior, I'd be happy to have a quick remote session with Windows Quick Assist so that I can determine whether the cursor is indeed moving, and NVDA is silent, or if it has stalled.
One of the quickest ways to rule out the possiblity of an add-on being at fault is restarting NVDA with add-ons disabled and try the process again. If it recurs, it's almost certainly NVDA itself, and if it doesn't, it's almost certainly an add-on that's the culprit. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The instinctive need to be the member of a closely-knit group fighting for common ideals may grow so strong that it becomes inessential what these ideals are. ~ Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989)

Re: NVDA 2021.3.1 cursor doesn't move in Google product edit fields
Louise Pfau
Hi. I'll try to isolate if there is an add-on behind it. I get typing echo when I type in the Google edit fields, but no spoken feedback when I navigate with the ARROW KEYS in the event that I made a typo that I want to correct. That's what led me to believe that the cursor wasn't moving. I tried navigating within another application's edit field to isolate the issue to Google products before I posted the original message.

I'm just curious if any JAWS and NVDA users, and I know we've got those, can either confirm or refute my memory.

Hi,
It also happens in Chrome as well. When in the search field for google search page, no keys are echoed. This only started recently.

I have observed at least similar results using Firefox and GMail compose/edit boxes.
I cannot be sure but I think this is the same symptoms/problem...
To clarify, I don't think the cursor is not moving, it is just not speaking when it is moved.
This is happening more often with recent versions of NVDA.
Unfortunately, I do not have a set of steps to reproduce the problem.
As others have reported, moving away from the edit box and coming back is the only known work around.
Until recently, I had only experienced this while using Linked-In message compose/edit boxes. At that time, probably 2/3 years back, I thought it was LI specific and reported the problem to LI.

I don't have any of these issues using NVDA latest version and latest Edge browser. Could it be an add on causing this issue for you?

Mort importantly Edge will inform you if their is an update. I've not experienced said behavior using NVDA and that other screen reader.

Re: Sleep mode question
Well, it gets more and more interesting with regard to Sleep Mode. After a little experimenting, where I used a specific Notepad window (one of the three I have open) where I put NVDA to sleep with NVDA + Shift + S (Desktop keyboard layout):
The sleep is not application specific, as in any Notepad window that's open, but Window specific. Only the one Notepad window where I put NVDA to sleep is where it remains asleep when ALT + TABbing between applications. None of the other Notepad windows are likewise "asleep" The duration of the sleep upon focus is for the life of that Window. If you close the window, and open that very same text file immediately afterward, NVDA is again active in the just invoked Notepad instance. Not that any of the above is particularly surprising, but it does indicate exactly how NVDA is handling being put to sleep: On a window by window basis. So the "transitory configuration profile" does not act, like regular ones do, at the level of the running application (as all instances of a given application where settings are set using a profile will inherit those settings) but at the level of the window in which NVDA sleep was invoked. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 The instinctive need to be the member of a closely-knit group fighting for common ideals may grow so strong that it becomes inessential what these ideals are. ~ Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989)
