Re: deleting file from downloads folder closes the downloads folder window

Chris
 

The only time I known this to happen is when you remove a external drive memory card or flash drive but for an empty folder to do this is odd to say the least

Odd, do you ever use file explorer for other things (press Windows+e) and have you noticed any other issues?

Also which version of Windows are you running?  I'm using Rhett latest fast insider bold of Windows 10. I haven't specifically looked lately, but I know I've had various Windows, mostly settings Windows, which either don't respond or close unexpectedly in various builds. I wonder if this is something similar?

Regards

Quentin

Hi Quinton,

 

Actually, I am talking about the downloads folder in the "this pc".  I don't have any trouble with my browser which is also the latest update to Firefox.

 

Thanks.

Hi Dan,

 

By downloads folder, do you mean the "This PC - Downloads" folder in File Explorer, or the downloads folder in your browser?

 

If that latter, which browser are you using?

 

I'm using the latest version of Windows 10 insider build (actually correction - 14905.1000 - the latest fast build has downloaded and wants to restart my machine), NVDA 2016.3rs2 and Firefox 48.0.2 - I can't reproduce your bug at the moment, but I'll try again once windows restarts.

 

Regards

 

Quentin.

I am running windows 10 most recent updates and NVDA 2016.3-RC2.

Hi,

Does this happen if NVDA is run in Core mode (all add-ons disabled)?

Cheers,

Hi all,

Today when using the calculator app in Windows 10 I noticed that NVDA doesn't read the keys I pressed (backspace, clear, etc) and the changes make to the output display, for example if I delete a number NVDA won't announce the change, even with the latest version of Windows 10 Essentials add on installed.

If I'm correct, I started noticing this bug since I upgraded to 2016.3 RC1.

Is this a bug with NVDA? Or the Windows 10 Essentials add on...

Re: Reading command prompt

Hello again,
turns out my theory was wrong. The exact explanation can be found in
https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/513
There were two commits which actually fixed this for anything above Vista, but they caused other problems so were reverted.
Maybe it would make sense to experiment with the STABILIZE_DELAY timer in the Winconsole class.
Kind regards,
Felix

Hi,
my theory is that it has to do with the keyboard hook. Technically, it seems that characters printed to the console are seen by the keyboard hook as key input, and then treated as such. To whoever wrote that hook: could this be true? I mean, could console output erroneously make your hook trigger?
Kind regards,

fake clip

Marisane Moruthanyana
 

Morning guys

 

I hope you are well.

 

I am trying.

 

I recently heard of you talking about am addon called something like ‘fake clip’.

 

I visited the nvda addon page and I don’t remember seeing it.

 

However, I visited Jeff’s repository and found it.

 

The problem is that it comes as a zip file / folder with a few files within it.

 

One can’t easily identify which file to install.

 

Would you please help me with the process of installing the addon?

 

Your help is appreciated in advance.

 

With respect

Marisane

All right, I was able to find the dialogue referred to. However none
of the file types are checked, which I assume means they are
unblocked.

I find it hard to remember exactly what I did to fix the problem. However, I did reinstall Office 2016 and after that the problem went away. Not a very satisfactory explanation I’m afraid. However, would you consider running a repair on Office? Failing that, deleting and completely reinstalling might help.

 

Before you do that, can you confirm that:

1.      You can create a new Word or excel file from within either program?

2.       That you can open files listed in the “Recents” tab of the file menu?

3.      That the “File / Open” dialog cannot focus on the directory where your existing files are located from within either program?

 

If these conditions are true, then you have the same problem that I had and I would recommend a reinstall of MS Office.

 

All the best,

 

Cearbhall

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give that a try...
Re: Reading command prompt

Quentin Christensen
 

I'll have more of a look into this. In the meantime, you can set up a configuration profile just for there command prompt which has speak topped characters and words turned off so you can have those settings turned on in other programs without needing to keep changing it yourself.

The Basic Training for NVDA had a section on this (chapter 13, Configuring NVDA).

Re: deleting file from downloads folder closes the downloads folder window

Well, I have found that if I open the downloads folder and then using the ribbons click on the delete or delete permanently buttons it works as expected and does not close the folder.


I have not found any other odd behaviors.


I am running windows 10 anniversary with all the more recent updates.


Thanks.
