With the Weather Plus add-on installed, go to the NVDA menu, preferences

submenu, then arrow down to weather plus settings.

 

Expand that, then down arrow to documentation and press enter. Then open

the file entitled Weather Plus First Settings.html and follow the

directions.

Hi All,

Try booting your computer. Start NVDA. Kill any unnecessary
processes from Task Manager (Acrobat, Dropbox, iTunes, etc), and then
launch TB. Chances are there won't be a lag.

Start up the apps you can't live without one by one, and as soon as TB
lags, you'll know who the culprit is.

HTH!

Subject: [nvda] Selecting text in notepad

Hello


I have noticed that with the latest version of NVDA, when you select text in notepad using shift-down arrow (or shift-up arrow), sometimes NVDA announces the text you have selected (as it used to do) but sometimes it just announces how many characters have been selected.


I am using windows 10, and the most recent release of NVDA.

I'm confused.
Not a general problem?
What would you call it when multiple people from varying areas and
computer types/operating system versions have the same problem then?
What is your definition of a general problem?
Generally, when multiple have the same problem, even if at least one of
them (that'd be me) solved the problem without knowing how, that doesn't
make the experience any less valid.
I'd certainly classify this as a problem, regardless of your definition of
general.
