Hi;

I hit what seems to be an odd glitch. I'm a deaf person who reviews/edits flyers for my agency, and I use the free version of NVDA (with my phone voice-to-text) to review the accessibility under "real world conditions" rather than trusting that everything will happen smoothly. I had the updated NVDA running in background when I tried to edit the pdf to correct something. Multiple times, I couldn't actually type any text until I turned off the NVDA in the background.

It's a weird glitch that I don't remember happening with the previous version of free NVDA. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
