Hi all, I'm running Word 2016 and NVDA 2020.4, though this happened with 2020.3 as well. I'm having a weird issue with Word that I was just able to test thoroughly. When reading a relatively short document, this isn't an issue, but the longer the document is the bigger of an issue it becomes. I start NVDA reading the document, and it reads normally. If I use the control key to stop NVDA before it announces a new page, I am where I expect to be in the document. However, if NVDA has announced a page change before I stop reading and then I use control to stop, I am back where I last stopped instead of where I stopped reading. Bob

Bob,
Could you please send us a debug log? I just tried and can't reproduce here with a quick test using OneCore at least. Which synthesizer are you using?
Also, as a workaround and possibly better solution anyway, if you use SHIFT to pause speech rather than control, you can press SHIFT again to keep reading where it left off.
The other thing I thought was because NVDA grabs blocks of text (eg sentences) if you have a particularly long sentence stretching over a page, could it be that it is at the start of that block and it's just that it's long that you noticed it?
Quentin.

- Here's a pasted copy of the file I gave the link to. I understand, since it's a Word document, and that's where your reading problem currently lies, that you wouldn't be able to read it. --------
Collecting NVDA Debugging Information to Report to NVAccess.
Whether you are someone who has a GitHub account for NVDA or not, when it comes to reporting detailed information to the developers of NVDA when it’s needed you will be called upon to turn on debug level logging so that they can get a handle on exactly what’s happening. You will often need to include this (or at least a chunk of the log) along with a description of what you have done (in exact steps, when possible) and what isn't working as it should.
Very often, issues are triggered by an Add-On rather than NVDA itself, so the first thing you should try is restarting NVDA with add-ons disabled, and see if you can recreate your problem, or if it goes away. If it goes away, then you know that an add-on is triggering it. You then have to go through add-ons manager, first disabling all add-ons except one, and restarting NVDA as usual, until turning one of them on causes your problem to reappear. Once you know which add-on is causing the issue, this needs to be reported to the developer of that add-on rather than the NVDA developers.
Your NVDA key is either INSERT (desktop keyboard layout) or CAPS LOCK (laptop keyboard layout), depending on how you have NVDA set up.
To restart NVDA with add-ons disabled: 1) Press NVDA+Q 2) Down arrow to 'Restart with add-ons disabled' 3) Press ENTER
Next, try recreate the issue - do whatever causes problems. If the problem(s) still occur, even with all add-ons disabled, then you’ll want to proceed to changing the NVDA logging level so you have detailed information for reporting purposes. If the problem(s) are gone, then go through the steps to figure out what add-on is causing them, noted above.
To set your log level: 1) Press NVDA+Control+G to open the general settings 2) Press TAB until the focus is on 'Log level' 3) Press DOWN ARROW to get to 'Debug' 4) Press ENTER to close settings 5) Press NVDA+Control+C to save settings.
When you restart NVDA, please do so with add-ons disabled, which will give the cleanest log, using the previously noted steps.
Once NVDA is running with add-ons disabled, recreate the issue - do whatever causes problems. Once the problem(s) have occurred, there will be log information that needs to be sent to the developers.
There are several ways to access the NVDA log file afterwards:
If NVDA is still running and usable: 1) Press NVDA+F1 to open the log viewer 2) Press CONTROL+A to select all. 3) Press CONTROL+C to copy. 4) Press CONTROL+V to paste the copied log where you need to paste it.
Instead of using the log viewer, or if NVDA has stopped and you needed to restart it or the computer: 1) Press WINDOWS+R to open Windows Run dialog 2) Type %temp% and press ENTER (that's the percent sign, the letters T E M P and another percent sign). Windows Explorer should open to the temporary folder. 3) Press TAB to move to the file list 4) Press N and move down to find up to three files: nvda.log (the log file for the current or most recent NVDA session), nvda-old.log (the log from the previous session) and nvda-crash.dmp (a crash dump with more information created if NVDA itself crashes). 5) Depending on whether you’re filing a GitHub issue or using an email program to send information to info@..., exactly what you do will be different in regard to attaching files. That being said, attach as many of those three files to an email to as would contain useful information. This is generally the nvda.log file where debug level logging was active and the nvda-crash.dmp file if NVDA crashed. As always, give a detailed description (including steps to reproduce) of has happened as well as a description of what you expected to happen.

- Wonderful. Thank you very much for taking the time to read the tutorial and then following through with all the steps. I'm not trying to insult add-on developers in any way, but it's generally been the case that add-ons break something rather than the NVDA core. Part of that is the way the development cycles of the NVDA core and NVDA add-ons diverge. Many NVDA Add-On developers do this entirely on their own time and as time is available and sometimes changes in NVDA core requires add-on changes, and sometimes not. Debugging software and determining root causes is a slow process that requires attention to detail. Again, thanks very much for actually carrying out the necessary process to isolate your issue to its source. --
