Just press NVDA spacebar again, Hettie. A lower beep tone is what you

want to hear. So I suspect I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this, but I'm just sharing my experience. Sometimes, it appears like NVDA has trouble activating some web elements, & I often have to use a variety of techniques if enter or spacebar doesn't work, including the NVDA f7 key, using object navigation, NVDA backspace/shift backspace to ensure the element is in focus & then enter/spacebar/click, etc. I think some of it just has to do w/the element not actually being in focus, although NVDA indicates that it is.

NVDA and web buttons
Hettie
Hi all
I used the NVDA key + spacebar to activate an unsubscribe button on my AVG account web page. I was able to tab to the wanted button but unable to activate it. After this it was also not possible to read the screen with the arrow keys. When my son came to assist me he saw that there was a message on the screen asking whether I really want to unsubscribe. That message wasn't read to me and as I douldn't navigate the screen I didn't knew that I was supposed to react on a yes/no question. How do I return to the normal screen after pressing the NVDA key + spacebar? Thanks for any help. Hettie -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com

Re: Outlook 2016 - Cannot Open Certain Messages When NVDA is Active
Christo Vorster <christo.vorster.klavierstem@...>
Hi Quentin
It seems as if there was some kind of problem with the mail I receveid. After I installed NVDA 2020.2 and deleted the email, then requesting a re-send of the message, everything worked well.
Thank you, if I experience something similar, I’ll be in touch again.
Regards
Christo Vorster (Worcester, South Africa)
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io [mailto:nvda@nvda.groups.io] On Behalf Of Quentin Christensen
Hi Christo,
Could you get me a copy of your NVDA log to have a look at please, ideally at debug level?
If possible, could you please also forward a message which causes problems to me so that I can endeavour to replicate myself? Ideally, instead of forwarding as you normally would, could you please forward as attachment? In Outlook you can move to the message in the list, then press ALT+H, 0, 0, then F.
Sometimes when forwarding a message normally, the email client can alter the structure enough so that even though it looks the same, it might not cause exactly the same effects, (such as crashing NVDA).
Kind regards
Quentin.

Hi you lovely guys
I couldn’t read table of contents with NVDA. Whenever I try to read table of contents, nvda reads: out of link TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u link . My sighted friends read the full content of the TOC. Nvda skips it this way. ‘out of link TOC \o "1-3" \h \z \u link . Solution?

Re: nvda addon list
Go to Groups.io, activate the "Find or Create a Group" control at the top, enter NVDA in the search box, activate search, and you'll get the list of the 29 NVDA related groups on Groups.io, this one and nvda-addons among them.
Every group's main page, is shown as a link, which is also a header, in the search results just like most web search engines. You can use the H browsing shortcut to jump from group to group. On the group page, if you activate the link, for any Groups.io group, will be a section entitled Group Email addresses under which all the addresses related to post, subscribe, unsubscribe and several other controls and contacts for the group will be listed. -- 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: ALLOW APP THROUGH CONTROLLED FOLDER ACCESS DOESN'T READ

Do you have any blocked apps? I must admit I haven't really used this feature, but turning it on, it says most apps will be allowed by default, so maybe it is simply that there aren't any blocked apps?

It happens to me about 25% of the time I upgrade, and it doesn't seem to happen consistently for the same version of NVDA across various systems. For now it's just one of those little quirks of computer life. If NVDA is silent for a while after updating and doing the restart, this has probably happened. Press the shortcut to start it and if it starts, that's what occurred. Luke

Possible nvda problems when the system and the nvda language is set to Greek
Hi all. I would like to report 2 issues some other users reported to me. I cannot reproduce them for now because my windows language is set to English and the same applies for the nvda language. I am sending this to both the nvda list and the nvda addons list because one issue is for nvda in general and the other issue is with an addon. Both issues seem to affect windows 10 users only. People from Greece reported to me that after there is an update to nvda, the option to start nvda automatically with windows gets unchecked and they have to go into general settings and enable it again. I never had this issue so I assume that it has got something to do with the windows language or perhaps the nvda language. All these people have got Greek selected for both windows and NVDA. The second issue has got to do with the addon windows 10 app essentials. The addon is refusing to install on some systems. The message they receive says failed to install without any further explanations. By changing the nvda language the problem is not fixed. A user mannaged to install the addon at the end by changing the nvda language, uninstalling nvda and reinstalling it. This user had windows 10 1909 at first, then she updated to 2004, but the addon was refusing to install. If you need more information let me know. If needed I will try to find some logs from some people. Thanks Nikos

Re: Outlook 2016 - Cannot Open Certain Messages When NVDA is Active
Quentin Christensen
Hi Christo, Could you get me a copy of your NVDA log to have a look at please, ideally at debug level? Please send it attached to an email to info@.... Include a description of what you have done and what isn't working as it should (so I know what it's about in case I don't get to investigate today). First of all, your NVDA key is either INSERT or CAPS LOCK, depending on how you have NVDA setup. So, to set your log level: 1) Press NVDA+control+g to open the general settings 2) Press TAB until the focus is on 'Log level' 3) Press DOWN ARROW to get to 'Debug' 4) Press ENTER to close settings 5) Press NVDA+control+c to save settings. To restart NVDA with add-ons disabled: 1) Press NVDA+Q 2) Down arrow to 'Restart with add-ons disabled' 3) Press ENTER Next, recreate the issue - do whatever causes problems. To get NVDA's log after that, there are several ways: If NVDA is still running and usable: 1) Press NVDA+F1 to open the log viewer 2) Press CONTROL+A to select all. 3) Press CONTROL+C to copy. 4) Open your email and start a message to info@..., type a little about what you have done and what has happened in the body of the message, then leave a space and: 5) Press CONTROL+V to paste the copied log. Instead of using the log viewer, or if NVDA has stopped and you needed to restart it or the computer: 1) Press WINDOWS+R to open Windows' Run dialog 2) Type %temp% and press ENTER (that's the percent sign, the letter t e m p and another percent sign). Windows Explorer should open to the temporary folder. 3) Press TAB to move to the file list 4) Press N and move down to find up to three files: nvda.log (the log file for the current or most recent NVDA session), nvda-old.og (the log from the previous session) and nvda-crash.dmp (a crash dump with more information created if NVDA itself crashes). 5) Depending on what email program you use, the steps will be different, but attach as many of those three files to an email to info@... as will be useful, and again in the body of the message describe a bit about what has happened. If possible, could you please also forward a message which causes problems to me so that I can endeavour to replicate myself? Ideally, instead of forwarding as you normally would, could you please forward as attachment? In Outlook you can move to the message in the list, then press ALT+H, 0, 0, then F. Sometimes when forwarding a message normally, the email client can alter the structure enough so that even though it looks the same, it might not cause exactly the same effects, (such as crashing NVDA). Kind regards Quentin.

Not sure if you are aware of a add on called golden cursor it will let you use arrow keys to navigate and do other stuff it can be found at https://addons.nvda-project.org/addons/goldenCursor.en.html it will have to be installed into NVDA for that extra functionality. Gene nz .

Questions About Mouse Cursor Movement and Position
Steve Matzura
The audible position when the mouse cursor is routed is one of my favorite features of NVDA, but is it also possible to move the mouse cursor and pres a key that will give that same information at the mouse cursor's new position?
Also, what's the keystroke for getting the position of the PC Cursor? It seems that NVDA+DELETE only gives the mouse pointer position. And lastly, is it possible to get these position announcements in pixels instead of percentages of linear measurements? Thank in advance. NVDA's come such a long way, and I'm happy and proud to be a supporter thereof, both conceptually and financially.
