We are not able to duplicate the combobox problem as long as you use
alt-down arrow.

I find some of the problems I am having such as the combo box
problem bordering on show stoppers especially for certain boxes but
I agree that taking the time to fix it properly is the best way.

Subject: Re: WE 7 and browse mode
Speculation is such an interesting thing. We never said we were
going to stop using MSAA. We are doing a rewrite because browse
mode is over 10 years old and when it was created we didn't consider
the need for multiple simultaneous buffers. The issues with AJAX
and ARIA didn't exist. WE scripting which requires a lot more from
browse mode didn't exist. Browse mode was created when we supported
9X which made it more complex code wise than it needed to be. From
our perspective there is only one browse mode related problem that
is a show stopper and that is a lockup where WE hangs under certain
timing conditions when browse mode has been told to turn off and
then immediately turn back on. We, with the new lockup code that I
said we would work on post 7.0, are currently working to understand
this issue enough to hopefully resolve it. The other issues,
honestly, are anoyances that don't prevent people from functioning
with browse mode and we are not just going to just knee jerk react
and rush out something to silence people on this list. We are going
to rework our browse mode code base and do it correctly which is a
much better long term strategy.

I understand the below:
The only problem I have it back when browse mode was developed we
were told that msaa was great.
Other screen reader companies did there own proprietary stuff for
this and gw was working with microsoft with msaa to do it right.
Browse mode took a while etc.
It's never worked correctly ... why the complete rewrite?
When will this be done?
I think most of us use the applications taht use browse mode the
most of all apps.
We need to truly get this fixed as soon as we can and certainly
beofre we start adding more features.
Thanks so listening to my views.

We only stated that browse mode was going to be redone post
7.0. This is a major project and won't be released in any service
pack or minor update.

Did I understand it correctly from the GW staff that they would be
coming out with a WE 7 service pack soon after the release of WE 7
which would fix the browse mode problems that seemed to get worse
with the new release?
