Hi,
I am experiencing some 7.1 stability problems and am wondering if anyone
else is having the same.
Soon after installing the 7.1 update, all sorts of problems began. In
Word and Edsharpfor example, WE would not read the next word when
control right arrow was pressed. Search boxes would not speak either.
Fortunately this problem seems to have gone away with the turning off of
all scripts. WE is now running with a minimum of scripts and all seems
to be OK in that quarter.
However, a bug which is driving me nuts is when using Thunderbird.
When only a few messages are displayed, pressing the up or down arrow
keys to hear the first or last message header frequently causes WE to
loose the plot. Upon pressing enter to open the message, WE will read
the subject and say Thunderbird but nothing more. The text is on the
screen because it can be read with mouse keys but is not spoken
automatically or with the arrow keys. While WE is in this state many
areas do not speak correctly. e.g. New message editbox, list of folders.
The fault appears to be triggered by pressing the arrow keys when
determining whether the message under the cursor is really the first,
last or the only message in the list. Having the scripts on or off
makes no difference.
In WE 7.01, The pressing of the appropriate arrow key resulted in
silence when the extremities were reached. This was a slight irritation
but nothing like the current problem.
Upon closing Thunderbird after the above problem has occurred, the
Desktop icons will not speak and WE needs to be unloaded and re-loaded
before WE will function normally again. If an application other than
Thunderbird is used, 7.1 seems to work as it should but more testing is
required.
Anyone else experiencing this problem with 7.1 and Thunderbird under WXPH?
Using:
WXPH SP3, Triple Talk USB, also tried Dectalk for WE, Asrock motherboard
VGA drivers uptodate, latest Thunderbird maxed.
Cheers
Neville.
