Keeping NVDA from Announcing “0” before messages in Thunderbird?


 

Hello,

Before every message in my Thunderbird inbox, NVDA announces “0”. I asked a sighted person if there was visually a “0”, and they said no. I restarted my computer, and ran NVDA without addons, but this is still happening.

This started when I pressed “j” on accident in one of my inboxes. I pressed “j”, and a “100” was placed in front of the message, then pressing “j” changes that number to a 0. Now all new messages have a “0” before them. I have googled “Removing 0 before messages in Thunderbird inbox” and every variation of this phrase, and haven’t found anything remotely close to what I’m experiencing. The strange thing is this is only in the inbox that I pressed “j” in. I went into another folder of messages, and pressed “j” and “shift+j”, and the 0 showed up again.

Any ideas how to remove this “0” before messages?

I’m running NVDA 2022.4 and Thunderbird 102.9.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11 pro.

Thanks,

This has been discussed before, a couple of times.  I even wrote step-by-step instructions for attempting to address it in this very group in message  .  After member John Isige played with column showing/hiding, he determined that it is the "Junk Status" column that reads as zero or one hundred (see message:  ).

Follow the instructions in my previously noted message, then hide that column from display.  You should no longer hear either zero or one hundred, depending on whether a message is not junk versus junk in Thunderbird's estimation.

It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.
