Felix G.
Hello list! Is anyone else experiencing sluggish behavior in Firefox 45? Specifically, the following occurs for me with NVDA, but may or may not be related to NVDA of course:Has anyone experienced this, and found a way to recover?

Don't talk to me about disappointment on this topic! lool Between this and the loss of braille within Adobe Digital Editions, which everybody seems to be ignoring, I'm more than disappointed: I'm worried I'll have to instal another screen reader alongside NVDA... Ciao, Ollie

Threfore, I suppose, NVDA should be able to face this issue and solve it too. I really find it strange (and disappointing) that, in spite of my bringing this up a few times, at different moments, nobody ever gave a REAL reply. I hope that now, with a few more people complaining about this issue, it will be taken seriously and tackled once and for all. Ciao, Ollie

Re: Suggestion for upcoming NVDA build
Pete <emac00@...>
Might be a good idea in the snapshot builds.
If the snapshots check for snapshot updates it would keep the regular nvda users from accidentally clicking on the update to snapshot button or what ever it would be called. Pete

the insert + plus keys on number pad moves the nvda review cursor to the bottom line of cmd window. You can use nvda's review 7 8 9 line by line 4 5 6 word by word and 1 2 3 char by char. Pete

Personaly i think it could be an good idea. I think many like me often forgot to check for updates even for snapshot, so at least some kind of notification would be apresiated.

Subject: Re: [nvda] prevent pages from refreshing I don't know what Cobra is. I can say that in
Firefox, there is a setting to stop the browser from refreshing. I don't
know what effect the setting has on structures such as carousels. Nor do I
know if what is going on has the same or a similar cause because I don't know
what is being described as refreshing in today's message.
If you use firefox, in the main window, press alt,
then press t, wait a moment then o.
Tab once after waiting a moment.
down arrow to advanced.
If you get stuck partway down the list, up arrow
then continue down again to get you unstuck.
Once you get to advanced, start tabbing. You
will see a check box about notifying you if Firefox is being redirected or
refreshing a page. That isn't the exact wording but it's there and my
description should allow you to kno it. Check the check box. There
is no ok button. Continue using firefox now. Or close it if you
wish.
You may find that you get one such message when a
page wants to do something and nothing more during that session of working on
the page. You don't have to worry about closing such messages. They don't
block anything and will be replaced automaticaally with future messages.
As far as commercial screen-readers are concerned,
while they have features to stop refreshes, I don't know if they work in all
cases. I have found times in the past when the JAWS feature didn't work
when confronted by some kinds of page refreshes.

Re: announcing empty lines can be annouing
Patrick Le Baudour
Hi,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I have found one way : add an entry in the dictionnary, with input ^empty$ (assuming nvda tells you empty for empty lines) replaced by nothing. Select regular expression as type. The side effect would be that it probably not read any line, button or any other object containing only the word empty. But so far I have found no better way. -- Patrick.

Hello,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I'm not too sure about what you are describing exactly, but here are some infos that could be useful. - ctrl+alt+n only works with installed version of nvda, not with portables ones. - to work in cmd, it is usually recommended to disable keyboard and word echo. When it is enabled, the result can be annoying, as it reads letters and words of output, and does skip the punctuation with the word reading. If that is done, output should be spoken directly, and you can use review cursor, i.e. numpad with numlock off to browse through already displayedtext (assuming you are using desktop layout). -- Patrick
