NVDA Stopped Reading Putty
|
Gary
I am using the latest release of NVDA (2020.4) on Windows 10. My job
requires that I work on Linux systems ll day, which I do via Putty. This afternoon, out of nowhere, NVDA stopped automatically reading the output of the Putty windows, making my job impossible. I'm dead in the water, basically. Does anybody have any ideas what would cause this? I don't see any settings that control this. I'm out of ideas and frazzled. Gary |

I'm guessing the reporting of dynamic content changes has been accidently turned off. Toggle this feature with NVDA + 5 (on the number row). You can find this option in the Object Presentation Settings screen with Control + NVDA + O. Cheers Ben -----Original Message-----

What happens if you toggle NVDA+5, reporting of dynamic content changes?
Accidentally turned this off and it broke some things here. \

No idea in particular, but you might try the windows native ssh client. It may work better for some reason.

Or open a bash shell under WSL, and use SSH from there. As for NVDA: try starting it with add-ons disabled. It may be that there was an add-on update, and it had a negative effect. I don't know if the COM Registration Fixing Tool can help you here, but it won't hurt to try it (NVDA tools menu). Also, normal Windows trouble shooting steps of SFC /ScanNow and: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Might help, depending on what's actually wrong. Luke May the fourth be with you all.

For my experience with shell client like putty, I usually create session log which I can review on the go or later.
Sometimes, the session or information are way too long or too much that any screen reader cannot pick up or overlook.
Thats what I will do to cover my reviewing part just in case I didn't hear it or screen reader miss it.
