Re: Problems w/single key navigation
Greg Rhodes
Thanks for all responses. Problem not resolved. I’m using a Bluetooth keyboard. Tried unchecking the “(Trap All Non-Command Gestures”. I’ve uninstalled NVDA and reinstalled it. I’m very familiar with Browse mode and know that I need to be in it to do single key navigation. Since yesterday’s MS Edge and Windows updates, I can’t always tell if I’m in browse mode. When I press the NVDA key and the spacebar, NVDA goes silent and I get no audio feedback. Sometimes, Alt/Tabbing will get NVDA audio going again. MS Accessibility Desk was no help at all. Not sure what to do at this point. Greg

Hi Greg
Do you get unknown also if you use mozilla thunder bird? I did at one time have nvda not speak in web pages and mozilla thunder bird and I think around that time nvda saying unknown down on the task bar. It gave the same sort of problems as mentioned below. but I found out that the settings in mozilla had got corrupted etc some how and affected quite a few programs more Mozilla based and some others. I then deleted out the settings under %appdata% then re installed the program or 2 then it fixed it. but if i just uninstalled then setup over it again it did not. But before or was it after that when the following was typed in below it fixed the same sort of problems having those problems. But that was for mozilla settings.
Then after that come the com fixing tool but some times does not seem to work yet when typed in it does? That was for a windows 10 machine at that time. Troubleshooting - NVDA says “unknown” or “pane” in all of your
browsers, Mozilla Thunderbird email client and other places
Let us know what happens. I tlooks as though the tool did not work so you could try typing it in through the command prompt make sure all directions are followed correctly I know that has done the trick on the machine if the tool did not work for some reason.
The settings for mozilla seemed like a similarbug. Gene nz

I agree with your comments regarding LibreOffice. OpenOffice Calc may be

a good alternative and if people find that it's doing what they need they should certainly continue to use it. However, LibreOffice receives many more updates with bug fixes and feature additions. If there's ever a chance for accessibility in Calc and Writer to be improved we're likely to see that happening in LibreOffice before OpenOffice.

Windows 10 App Essentials 19.11.5 emergency patch for Edge 79 users
#addonrelease
Hi all,
Due to community feedback, I’m releasing Windows 10 App Essentials 19.11.5 emergency patch for Edge 79 users. This patch is applicable to NVDA 2019.2.x only (NVDA 2019.3 beta 2 and later includes support for Edge 79 stable). As this is an emergency patch, coupled with the fact that latest stable release is 20.01 which supports NVDA 2019.3 or later, this version will not show up via Add-on Updater.
Direct download link: https://github.com/josephsl/wintenApps/releases/download/19.11/wintenApps-19.11.5.nvda-addon
This patch works the same way as what’s included in NVDA 2019.3 beta 2 – after installing this patch in 2019.2.1, you won’t have to turn off native UI Automation anymore.
Also, an important note: after installing this patch, you may get a notification that a new add-on update for Windows 10 App Essentials is available. Please ignore this notification until NVDA 2019.3 or later is installed.
Cheers, Joseph

Re: Problems w/single key navigation
Quentin Christensen
Are you definitely in Browse mode? If you press NVDA+spacebar does NVDA change between Browse mode and focus mode and back? If you can manually change to Browse mode, do the single letter navigation keys work then? If so, look in NVDA's browse mode settings (NVDA+control+b). There are several which affect when NVDA changes modes, particularly "Enable browse mode on page load", "Automatic focus mode for focus changes" and "Automatic focus mode for caret movement". Those can all be enabled or disabled. Regards Quentin.

Re: Problems w/single key navigation
Gene
Are you using an internal keyboard? Though
I'm very doubtful it would matter, I don't want to leave the question
unasked.
Also, NVDA has a setting in browse mode settings
that is a check box and says,
Trap all non-command gestures from reaching the
document.
That setting shouldn't cause any problems but if the check
box is checked, try unchecking it.

If you want stable software, never mess with betas whatever software it is.
What do you mean by not stable? Not all add-ons working with it isn't a matter of stability. it is a matter of compatibility and probably has to do with those add-ons not yet being compatible. but it is likely stable in that it works properly in general and doesn't crash more than a stable program does.
I haven't tried it but in the past, I have found NVDA betas to generally be stable.

Mr Oguledo, Please find all the information and download link for the new beta here: https://www.nvaccess.org/post/nvda-2019-3beta2-now-available-for-testing/ For add-ons, you should find the main ones here: https://addons.nvda-project.org/ Note that some will have two versions as the newer Python 3 compatible version may not be backward compatible with NVDA 2019.2.1 and earlier.

Re: Unread/Read Status of Messages Broken In Thunderbird With 2019.3 Beta 2
John Isige
Huh! I didn't even know that existed. FYI, there are two radio buttons,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
"immediately on display" and "after (X) seconds". Mine was set to "immediately on display", so I can see how there would be a problem if the other option is set, because the default time seems to be five seconds. So that's definitely something to check, as it would be easy enough for it to hit that if you've got a lot of mail coming in.

Does NVDA say unknown in browsers instead of reading you links
and such when you press tab?

Re: edge showstopper maybe

H! Now if Edge has office apps you can work with off line. That, I would like if I was in a situation where there’s no wifi! Sarah, I did get the new edge. If you use Chrome. I find Edge is the same. I’ll play around with it later. Like Chrome it’s responsive quicker then IE. What I do not like, you have Bing shoved at you.

Well I am tryin to improve. As for edge, it seems a mixed bad, I can't say I am total surprised but I was expecting better, just a little. Edge has been configured. For those that see office there are web apps which are sites in edge that can do things offline. Edge it self does try to explain better than I am. You can uninstall those to. Once you link everything via your microsoft account on edge, your settings should stay so no need to reset.

Hi
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
What have you got your message time out set to? Mine is set to 5 seconds otherwise I think they show as read. In mozilla thunder bird go to tools then options then display then advanced then under there is a setting to change your time out of your messages. You might have to tab or arrow around to find it to change it. Mine here reads the unread message as it status until I open it. I think there was a setting in thunder bird so it could also save replied etc but would have to look as have not used it for a long time. Gene nz
