NVDA and ctrl+a

John J. Boyer
Hello,
When I pressed ctrl+a to select an entire file only the first line was highlighted. This gave me quite a start. Further investigation showed, however, that everything was selected. Apparently NVDA was showing only the first line. It used to show everything as highlighted. John -- John J.

In what program? Control a is a windows command and I don't know if there are any programs where NVDA might cause this to happen. But if people are going to check, this, we should know the program where you observed this.

Also, what are you describing? Are you talking about visually seeing what is on screen? Gene

Did you manage to get to the bottom of this? Had you recently updated NVDA to the latest beta? It sounds like the kind of odd quirk that can happen after updating and before restarting the PC. FWIW, I just tried here with NVDA 2020.4 beta 3 and it's working as expected. Quentin.
