No previous message | Next message →
Hello All:
I've been using NVDA to test some pages and noticed some strange behavior
(I'm using NVDA with the latest version of firefox btw - ver 38.0.5). NVDA
does not read form labels when tabbing through a form, only when moving
through a form (out of forms mode) using the F key. Also, for some links,
when I press enter I get the context-menu, not an opening of the link.
Anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks,
Howard

Hi Peter,
It looks like I discovered the problem - I was using MS API ver 4 for the
synthesizer. When I switched to espeak or Protalker or even version 5 of MS
API the problem disappeared.
Thanks,
Howard
