Hey Sailesh,

So, to re-state your comment, there are bugs in both NVDA and VO with regard
to scope support. (True / False / Other).

If there are bugs, are you aware if they have been filed at the respective
companies?

As a general comment (for the broader list) identifying a bug is a great
thing, following up to ensure that the bug is report is even better :-)

If you need help with filing the bugs, ping me off list and happy to assist.
