Loosing control of NVDA
|
Arnþór Helgason <arnthor.helgason@...>
Sometimes when I am reading documents either on the Internet or in Thunderbird I loos control of NVDA. The text starts rolling down the page and I need to turn off NVDA. It cannot be restarted so I need to restart my computer. Has anyone come across this problem?

Ervin, Glenn
Does the control key not do this?

it sounds like a buffer overflow problem. I
haven't had it happen.

reading something and it takes a while for the control key to shut it up. Never to the point where I had to restart though. I always thought the machine was just busy doing something else, e.g. loading a page, so it wasn't responding at the moment. It can be annoying, but nothing more than that, at least for me.

I have to restart NVDA a lot because of the same reasons you said. There is a way that works to turn it off. Instead of pressing NVDA+Q, first, keep pressing the control key, and it will shut up in a minute. Next, press Windows+M to get to the desktop. Then, press ALT+CTRL+N, and NVDA will restart. Here is another way, because sometimes that will not work. Press Windows+B to go to the notifications and actions. Arrow to NVDA, and press applications key, shift+F10, or route the mouse to that spot, and right click. Just arrow to exit, and NVDA will ask you what you want to do, just press enter to exit. Then, just start NVDA back up. I have to do this a lot in Edge, on very interactive web sites, and in Firefox a lot more than any other browser. So, there are some options other than restarting the computer LOL! I use the latest snapshots, and NVDA is more sluggish at this point than it was a few months ago. I will keep using the snapshots, to test and make recommendation’s. Good luck guys! David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Oh, that thing! For me that doesn't manifest as NVDA not stopping its
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
reading of things. When I have to do that is when, well it's sort of like a key is stuck but I don't think it actually is. But for example, maybe I type n and it takes it as ctrl-n, something like that. Then NVDA-q or whatever doesn't work, and I have to restart it to fix that. That's a vague description because it hasn't happened for a while and I usually just restart it when I notice it.

I have had it happen every so often, all nvda functionality basically is dead, the only way is to navigate to the system trey, right click nvda, select exit, then run nvda again and it then restarts.

Usually it happens with to many windows open, my theory is its only on slower cpus as on my faster units this is less likely. Even with this 3rd gen i5 while it happens about 5-10 times a year its annoying enough to notice but thats about it.

Why not do windows r then nvda -r in that dialogue? That restarts it as well.

Oh, if anyone hadn't told about it I'd really never know. How did
you discover this command?

I agree with your theory. Actually, I had this same problem and what happened, in simple words, was that I wasn't able to give any command to my NVDA. It just seemed to have died and the only way to fix it was restarting the program. At this point, glad that at least restarting works well and I never had to restart my system completely.

I certainly have not. However sometimes one can get the mouse if connected to do strange stuff, likewise with track pads, so now I always pull out the mouse or turn off the pad.

I will say this however, some very recent laptops have some annoying sound funnies, like sound won't start till half way down a menu, then will be lagging behind for ages and then stop. I'm told there are buggy realtek drivers about.

I do notice that in Notepad and other notepad like apps often selecting save as can have a delay of several seconds before its actually in the field and then forgets to tell me its there at all.

That is relatively new but this is windows 7 and it could be that there is a compromise at work here to allow older versions of windows to work. Nothing revealing in the log except the odd core frozen in stack. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

Hmm, could be due to nvda not being processor core aware, and maxing out the core in use by it. However its so rare on an I5 that I ignore it. The usual thing is no chars appear and then a string of the same one comes out and you have to edit them out later on.

It is not just nvda, narrator is worse in this respect as its so sluggish. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

Psst its in the quick guide to hotkeys, well it used to be, if its not now I'd not know.

However in some circumstances it seems to fail to work. i ended up putting a batch file in to force nvda to close. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder. Please address personal E-mail to:- briang1@..., putting 'Brian Gaff' in the display name field.

I did it too.

The last step was creating a shortcut that allows me to open this batch just pressing some keys. Well, it didn't work. I still have to restart my computer after some hours of inativity as I've writen in this list a time ago. Em 26/06/2018 05:14, Brian's Mail list account via Groups.Io escreveu:

Thank you very much for all the replies.
This problem, loosing control of NVDA, seems to happen more often when I am using my Braillex Live. I will try some of the solutions which have been mentioned. All the best, Arnthor

I occasionally get a condition I call
"Rolly Pololy" where the text just rolls up and down the screen
and nvda says nothing. Usually, just alt tabbing away from and
then back to the problem window fixes this. Roger
