Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
Thanks for the replies. Gene, I was thinking that it might be possible that if I was still sitting in the edit box where you enter the search criteria that I might be in focus mode, rather than browse, but even forcing a "jump out" such that I know and can see that I am not in a context were text entry is possible, and automatic switching to browse mode has to have occurred, I'm still getting odd behavior. The keyboard I'm using is the one that's built-in to my laptop and the one I've always used and generally used. Right now, after having hit the period on the last sentence and being in the compose box for this message hitting NVDA+CTRL+F, while in Chrome, brought up the built-in Chrome search not the NVDA search. Then jumping over to my Gmail tab I could get things to behave much more normally if I made sure I was out of the search criteria edit box after the search completed. I think I'm going to try a full shutdown and restart, as this is one of those "just to bizarre to explain" behavior situations, and those often go away after power cycling.

This sounds like the user is still in focus mode when he invoked the
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
command. Note that focus mode can be on even if you are outside of an edit box. In fact, the standard gmail site defaults to focus mode on the first visit. As a button is a form field, if you were not placed in focus mode automatically (see user guide), and you tab to a button, you are still in focus mode until you toggle to browse mode.

I don't know if others will have any suggestions
but assuming you are in browse mode, whatever is causing the problem isn't
general to other users. You never have to be on any structure to use
search.
As longt as you are in the web page and in browse mode, search should work wherever you are. I doubt this is related to the problem but what
kind of keyboard are you using?

Subject: [nvda] Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search
function Hello All, I have got to be doing something wrong, but I'll be darned if I know what it might be, because sometimes using INS+CTRL+F (where INS is the NVDA Key) will cause the NVDA search dialog to pop up and other times it just brings up the native search function of the web browser I'm using at the moment. At first I thought it might be because I was in an edit box and I needed focus to be on a control object of some kind, but even if I tab to what NVDA announces as a button on the Gmail inbox page, in this specific case, I am unable to use single letter navigation to the next button nor to get INS+CTRL+F to bring up the NVDA search. I'm getting the Firefox or Chrome browser search function, respectively, far more often than I am getting the NVDA search function. Is there some trick I can use, or
something I need to be certain of, before invoking the NVDA search function to
be sure I'll get the NVDA search function? I need to test this some more
with JAWS and Window Eyes, but I don't recall this same behavior occurring in
those contexts. I'll report back on whether I get the same behavior or
not, because if I do I must be making the same mistake and if I don't I really
have no idea what's up here. He discloses the workings of a mind to which incoherence lends an illusion of profundity. ~ T. De Vere White

Re: Forcing an NVDA Search rather than a built-in search function
OK, I'm getting similar "wacky" behavior out of JAWS 18 on the Gmail inbox page as well. The first time I tried triggering a JAWS search it said this feature is available only in a virtual document, such as a web page. I have no idea what it thinks the Gmail inbox web page is. When I tried it again it came up to search, but things I can see on the page, including the "Select all conversations that match this view" link come up with NADA. I know I used the screen reader search function when writing up instructions telling people how to get to certain "landmarks" on the page without having to resort to brute force tabbing, which I despise as a general technique because it's both a huge time waster and can be really frustrating. What on earth have I forgotten or am I missing here? By the way, I'm using the latest NVDA and JAWS under Win10 Home 64-bit, build 14393.576 He discloses the workings of a mind to which incoherence lends an illusion of profundity. ~ T. De Vere White

Re: who knows this problem?
Jacob
By default Windowù is set to restart on a critical error. I always turn this function off. I have a problem with some scanner software make the PC restart but when I turn this function off it runs anyway. Since I'm running a danish version of Windows I don't know exactly the name of the menu where you can turn it off. Try something like system setting, advanced setting and then setting for restart and recovery. Uncheck the automatically restart box. It'll at least make it possible for you to have a chance to read the error message. OZ0TE Jacob

Bug in danish contracted Braille
Jacob
I notice exactly the same problem both in NVDA and JAWS. Therefore I think it's related to LibLouis.
No matter if it's 6 og 8 dot I get some strange codes. For example in Windows Exprore data and time i shown like this: file.txt /x200e 2017 /x200e 01 /x200e 11 /x200e 12:25. If i turn off contraction it's shown normal with out the /x200e codes. I also see it often on websites and in Skype and nearly every any application. I try several displays and PC's running Win 7 and 10. What's the best way to report this bug? OZ0TE Jacob

Re: NVDA and MalWare Bytes
For those who'd like the direct link to Gene's tutorial page for Malwarebytes 3.0, it is: http://accessibilitycentral.net/How%20to%20navigate%20Malwarebytes%20Anti-Malware%20with%20NVDA.html It took me a while to find it. I've never used the premium version, just the home free version, and am still on 2.2.1. My main purpose for having Malwarebytes, and having clients install it, is as an "in case of emergency" tool. I run scans every once in a while, but I've never had a detection for real malware on any of my machines. The most it's tagged is tracking cookies and PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) - some of which were unwanted, others not.

Re: Adobe Reading by Page
Kelby, What you're describing is probably the interaction between several things you can set using the accessibility wizard in Adobe Reader (regardless of version). If this is a large file you're dealing with (which, by default, would be 50 pages or more) it could very likely be the problem. I would use ALT+E,Y,S to run the accessibility setup wizard. That key sequence is for Reader DC but I also don't think it has changed in a very long time. If it is different then open the Edit menu, look for accessibility, and choose the setup wizard from the submenu. On the first dialog page, you may wish to activate the radio button to set only the accessibility settings options for screen readesr rather than using the default that walks you through screen reader and magnification accessibility settings. On the second dialog page you should leave the "Infer reading order from document (recommended)" radio button selected, and this is the default, or select it if it's been set to one of the other two settings, On the third dialog page activate the "Read the entire document at once" radio button for large files. On the fourth, and final dialog page, you may wish to check the checkbox for "Reopen documents to the last viewed page" if you frequently deal with large documents and would rather that they "pick up where you last stopped" when you open them later. Some people love this feature while others despise it with a burning passion. He discloses the workings of a mind to which incoherence lends an illusion of profundity. ~ T. De Vere White

This regexpt probabily it interferes with the string of the Acapela tags: #Break words that have numbers at the end Pattern: ((?:(?=\D)\w)+)(\d+) Replacement: \1 \2 This means that e.g., the string "#LAUGH01#" changes in "#LAUGH 01#".

The Acapela TTS allows usage of special codes to get the TTS to laugh, cry, cough and so on. To get the desired sound you need to type for instance #LAUGH01#, #CRY01#, #COUGH01# and so on.
