Has anyone else noticed a change in the behavior of Focus Highlight?

Or, perhaps more accurately, have your sighted assistant(s), as we're the ones that rely on this add-on. It could be an NVDA change, too
Up until very recently, virtually everything generally defaulted to being in browse mode when I opened it, generally with the "thick red line" which indicates that you're in browse mode and the navigator object and focus object are one and the same. This was particularly true when I landed on File Explorer (as a whole) and items in the list which I display using Details View. It was also generally true in many other places. For the last few days, everything seems to be opening in focus mode that used to be opening in browse mode, and what's weirder is I can't get the mode to toggle. I was trying to play with doing a multi-file select with individual files in File Explorer, and could not get NVDA+space to shift me back to focus mode so I could select, move along then CTRL+select (spacebar), etc. Even the buttons in dialogs are shown as being in focus mode when I land on them, e.g., the Winver Close button. I am running Windows 10, Version 1809, Build 17763.529 and NVDA 2019.1.1 and Focus Highlight 6.0. This is really peculiar, and definitely not what I've been used to. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L.

If you disable focus highlight, does everything still automatically go to focus mode? I just had a quick look and it seems fine here, although I realised when you mentioned you are using v6, that I am using v5.6.

NVDA 2019.2. https://github.com/nvdajp/focusHighlight/issues/13 I understand it is confusing for the users of previous versions, however, the new behavior is more straightforward and consistent, in my opinion.

Well, the behavior isn't "more straightforward" in mine, nor does it match the behavior stated in the documentation, and I quote:
Even in Windows parlance, one is browsing in File Explorer when looking for a file. As far as I'm concerned, the visual presentation should be a direct indicator of what you are doing at that moment, and the blue dashed outline is completely misleading in the vast majority of circumstances where it now appears. What it comes down to is if it isn't an editable text field of some sort then you're not really in focus mode as shown by the blue dotted line. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1809, Build 17763 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L.

Hello,

The development version of focusHighlight is as follows. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9z3ar6vu116jxzm/focusHighlight-6.1-dev.nvda-addon?dl=0 This version uses nvda.ini. If the following entries are added, it behaves as same as the previous versions. ``` [focusHighlight] [[passthrough]] defaultMode = False thickness = 12 ``` Note that the minimum tested version of this add-on is NVDA 2014.1, however, this snapshot is only tested with the current version of NVDA. The setting GUI is planned as well, but not yet created. The customization work can be discussed at the issue: https://github.com/nvdajp/focusHighlight/issues/3 Regards, -- Takuya Nishimoto nishimotz@... 2019年5月29日(水) 23:19 Brian Vogel <britechguy@...>:
