While doing accessibility testing, our team found that JAWS screen reader does not work correctly with links if Firebug is open. Instead of reading out the full link text, it reads out only the first letter. For example, if a link says "Help" JAWS will read "H." This only happens when Firebug is open. If you close Firebug, and open a new tab, the problem continues. The only way to get JAWS to work again properly is to restart your browser.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.google.com 2. Hit the tab key to go to the next link. The link text should be read correctly 3. Open Firebug. The full link text will no longer be read and instead the first letter of the link will be read This will continue even if you close Firebug. We have found this issue with all the URLs we tested. Test environment: Firefox 3.0.1.5 and Firefox 3.5.5 Firebug version: 1.4 JAWS version: 11 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
