Re: Problem with NVDA and single key navigation in Chrome
I strongly suspect that this is some sort of weird interaction between something that came preinstalled on your machine, most likely security related, and Chrome and NVDA.
There are several ways you could proceed. 1. Turning off your security software, temporarily, and if that requires rebooting then reboot, and see if the issue goes away. 2. Make sure you have already set up sound in safe mode with networking (See: Getting Sound in Safe Mode Under Windows 10) then see if the behavior occurs if you boot into Safe Mode. This avoids loading an awful lot of startup processes to begin with. 3. If either of the above fixes the issue, you will then need to follow the proper procedure to go through the process of elimination to find out what exactly is the root cause of the problem. What that is varies, so until more data is available it's really not worth going into the details. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Science has become just another voice in the room; it has lost its platform.

Re: Problem with NVDA and single key navigation in Chrome
georgijivankin@...
Thanks for the suggestion, Zahra. This is the first thing I tried when I encountered this strange behaviour, and it didn't solve the problem for me as it is not an intermittent issue but happens every time I open Chrome. Let's see if anyone else has other suggestions.

NVDA, Braille display, and Lenovo laptop
JM Casey
Hey folks.
I’m running a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop with Windows 10 2004, and NVDA is updated to latest stable channel build. I’ve got a Focus Braille display attached to the computer via USB (no bluetooth adaptor currently in the computer). The laptop is a new acquisition for me and being semi-mobile with a braille display and a tool to read and write on is one of the chief reasons I got the thing. I do a fair amount of reading of documents, books, easearch materials and so on. I usually convert everything to plain text and read in notepad, which has worked fine on my desktop. However, the laptop does not count reading on a braille display as “activity”, it seems, and goes to sleep after several minutes. I’ve adjusted the time factor, but I’m wondering if there is any way I can convince the computer that reading on the display counts as “activity”, since I do appreciate these battery saving features and so on, but it’s annoying when after ten or fifteen m inutes of reading the machine just needs to be reawoken, re-signed in, etc. I know this wouldn’t happen if I had the computer perform some simple task like playing music or something, but I feel like I shouldn’t *have* to do this or tap on the keyboard every so often just to let it now to stay awake. Any ideas? Again, I’m aware that I could just increase the time alotment or even tell it never to go to sleep, but I’m wondering if there’s a way I can take advantage of these power-saving features somewhat and still get what I want?

Problem with NVDA and single key navigation in Chrome
georgijivankin@...
Hello NVDA community,
This is my first post here, and sadly it’s about a problem with NVDA I encountered today that I’d like to get some opinions about.
I’ve been an NVDA user for a couple of years mostly on an Apple MacBook Pro running Windows 10 on Bootcamp or on a Del XPS 13 and I have never experienced what I will describe below. Today I’ve got a brand new work computer – a Lenovo X1 Carbon with Windows 10, Lenovo drivers, Chrome, Slack, Webroot SecureAnywhere and Umbrella Roaming Client by Cisco already preinstalled. I initially installed an older version of NVDA that I had lying around on a flash drive, which I immediately updated to the newest official version thereafter. When opened Chrome, I noticed that it reads through the pages in browse mode, it can switch between Browse and Focus modes and it recognizes links, forms and other controls, but none of the single navigation keystrokes like H, E, N, NVDA+Space and other similar keys or key combinations work. Even the NVDA+1 key doesn’t want to turn help navigation on, same for the NVDA+N keystrokes combination. Once I exit Chrome everything goes back to Normal and NVDA starts responding as it should.
I tried the same with Microsoft Edge and it works – NVDA can successfully intercept and process single navigation keys and key combinations without issues jumping through headings, focusing edit controls, etc.
What I tried so far:
After one of the first NVDA or Chrome reinstallations, I managed to get it working somehow, but after I kept customising my NVDA the way I like it, after one of the subsequent reboots, the problem reappeared and no reinstallations of Chrome or NVDA managed to fix it ever since. There is nothing in the log viewer, neither in normal, nor in debugging mode and I am out of ideas.
If you have any suggestions of things for me to try, please let me know.
Best Regards, Georgi.

issue I've seen which causes this is the synth can't index properly, so NVDA doesn't know it needs to continue reading.

My nvda [say all command’ works well with English language. It doesn’t
work well with my local language though. If it is local language, It starts reading; but it automatically stops reading without any key pressed. Solution?

Add-on Updater 20.06.2 coming this weekend, last version to support NVDA 2019.3 and a notice on legacy add-ons to be shown
#addonrelease
Hi all,
Add-on Updater 20.06.2 is on its way, to be released either today or tomorrow (likely later today). This release includes two major changes:
Regarding the second item: whenever all features from an add-on is included in NVDA, a notice like this will show up in the future. This can only occur if the author of the would-be legacy add-on informs the community that the add-on is no longer needed. The notice itself will be sent out a few months after legacy declaration takes place, likely around the time the successor NVDA version is in circulation.
For example, suppose NVDA 2020.3 includes all features from Resource Monitor add-on (hypothetically speaking). If that ever happens (unlikely), I will declare it as a legacy add-on around the time NVDA 2020.3 stable version comes out. A few months later (around the time NVDA 2020.4 shows up), I’ll include a notice in Add-on Updater saying that Resource Monitor should be removed.
Cheers, Joseph

If you want to test that out, use the Reply to Sender link at the end of this message to send something, anything, to me as an attachment and I'll let you know whether it makes it or not.

Re: NVDA and MathML, specifically for Chemistry Markup Language [Subscripts in Particular]
Andy Keyworth
Hi Greg,
Thank you for your response.
I have MathPlayer already installed; unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to make any difference. When I test these pages (in NVDA and JAWS across multiple browsers), I’m only hosting them on my local machine, not a web server. Non-chemistry MathML seems to display and be read fine by NVDA, at least in FireFox. But MathPlayer doesn’t seem to make any noticeable difference. Any advice on what I could change would be appreciated. Please see a demo sample attached as a ZIP to this email.

Hi Andy, Do you have MathPlayer installed? NVDA uses MathPlayer to read MathML, and it generally reads chemical equations in an unambiguous understandable form although not necessarily the same way that a chemist might read it out loud. If you have MathPlayer installed, and it is not reading the subscripts, can you send an example of a webpage where it is not being read, and I can take a look. Greg
