Numpad navigation not working in Firefox


Bob Cavanaugh
 

I just double checked, and I'm not even sure where scroll lock is on
my keyboard, I'll have to look at that. What I did discover though is
that in Firefox, I can use numpad 8 to move up arrow, but not numpad 2
to move down.

You haven't accidentally hit "Scroll lock" have you? With scroll lock
enabled, when you press the arrow keys, the document scrolls visually,
however the caret or focus does not move. It's a bit like the review
cursor for sighted people :)

If that's what you've got going on - press scroll lock again to disable it.

as the arrows appear to move, but nothing is spoken.

Have you restarted the PC since updating? That's the first thing to
try
-
we often see strange things like this which resolve themselves after
the
computer is restarted.

but they don't work when browsing a webpage.
