Here is part of a message from the archive.  You may solve the problem this way, though its cumbersome. Despite having say cap on capital letters being unchecked NVDA still says cap with capital

- The following is not aimed at you, Gene, but at the fact you stated above: So what? There are bad design decisions all the time in myriad pieces of software. Spreading them around is not a good

I didn't say the name of the control should be user definable. I hadn't thought about that. But as to whether the name such as start is spoken first or the class such as button, should be

Hi all, Brian's reasons are very convincing. Now let me give you a more convincing reason: Short answer: Don, I'm sorry, but your suggestion cannot become reality without "warping reality

The sentence in that last post should have been: The start button is one of the primary controls of Windows. If you use what I typed, "buttion," in the original the desired "messy outcome" is not

I've just proven my theory about control text not being sent through the dictionary processing wrong. If you want to see "fun with dictionary replacement" for the start button, try putting this in the

Thanks to Joseph, i’ll try your suggestion of copying the link to the addressbar to see what happens. I’ll think of that next time i try to update the ad-ons for nvda. I know that there was a
