Strange behaviour of NVDA on Wikipedia


Morne van der Merwe
 

Hello list,

 

Please bare with me. I am going to explain my problem as best as I can.

 

I’m running the latest version of NVDA as well as Windows 10.

 

When I’m reading about a country on Wikipedia, NVDA read the information and, when reading the next part of information, NVDA adds the previous information as well. And before reading the next information, it repeats the previous information.  I’m going to give an example.

 

Currently I have “Germany” open in Wikkippedia.  NVDA reads “Federal republic of Germany, Bundesrepublik Deutschland.” 

 

Then I arrow down to the next piece of informationwhich is the information about the capital and largest city.  I hear the following information:  “Capital and largest city. Federal Republic of Deutschland, Bundesrepublik Deutschland Berlin.” So, I get to the next piece of information, but I hear the previous piece of information again.

 

Well, I really hope I explained my problem sufficient enough to get some help.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Kind regards

Morné

It's not just on wikipedia, it happens on other web pages too.  I thought it was just an artifact of the way the page was laid out, I didn't think it was an NVDA problem, but it certainly could be.  No idea what would caus it though.

I believe you are right because I too have come across this problem when I am reading tables that aren't well laid out.  But usually I don't encounter any awkwardness.  Cheers!

I was intrigued by the issue which you raise. However, below, I have pasted the actual code behind the Wikipedia web page. The image has a title and an alt text so both are being read out. As well as the displayed text of the link on screen.

 

Take a look:

<tr>

<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center"><a href="/wiki/File:Germany_in_the_world_(W3).svg" class="image" title="Location of Germany in the World"><img alt="Location of Germany in the World" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Germany_in_the_world_%28W3%29.svg/250px-Germany_in_the_world_%28W3%29.svg.png" width="250" height="153" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Germany_in_the_world_%28W3%29.svg/375px-Germany_in_the_world_%28W3%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bd/Germany_in_the_world_%28W3%29.svg/500px-Germany_in_the_world_%28W3%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="3188" data-file-height="1948" /></a>

<div style="font-size:90%;position:relative;top:0.3em;">Location of Germany in the World</div>

</td>

</tr>

 

This makes it very verbose. Does that explain what you are describing?

 

All the best,

 

Cearbhall

Could this be another symptom of what I suspect is UIA improper functioning?  I don't have the technical knowledge to know if there could be a relation between reading the list problem in file explorer and this one.

Then it may well be that there is no relation.  I don't know if the list reading problem in file explorer might be a UIA problem or not but I believe UIA is used when reading lists of files and folders.
