I am not using a laptop layout but thanks for the suggestion. I just simply get no speech after pressing enter, then alt down arrow on my desktop keyboard. Hmmm, maybe I'll try bypass; weirder things have happened.

Hi, I am not clear about the combobox problem but if you are using laptop layout then before using Alt+down arrow try the bi-pass key in laptop layout Alt+Shift+P. Hope this helps.

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.

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. Sam Bushman ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael D.
