I notice that the latest version of Jaws is now flagging these clickable elements on web sites. is this a good thing, and should nvda be doing the same?

JAWS has announced mouseover links for a long
time. No other screen=-reader I have used or tried has. I've useed
or tried System Access, Window-eyes, and NVDA. Unless mouseover links do
things that matter more than years ago, it may not matter. Most of the
time in the past, when I would use the JAWS mouseover link feature, the page
wouldn't change in any way that mattered. Those who know more about how
mouseover links are used now will be able to give a current perspective.
In order to implement a mouseover feature, just
flagging a link is inadequate. You have to have announced, when on the
link and when a command has given, whether the page has changed and at what
line. Then, you need a jump to line command so you can move to that
line. You also need a return to previous position command.

Yes my point really, I've only recently had Jaws on the machine for completeness. In the main its very verbose, but then I guess one can control that. Not found its pronunciation dictionary yet, it says site E Map where NVDA gets it right.
