Hi, The WLM scripts don't help at all--I have them installed. I do agree that it's strange that JAWS and NVDA don't act up like this but from what I've know of GW, if there's a problem they're pretty quick to fix it, and I know these problems haven't gone unnoticed. They sure do drive me crazy though. Recently I was forced to copy my Email message into Notepad, edit there, and then paste it back into WLM because the system kept dinging so much and not reading most of the Email. I've known W E to have textual problems like this in the past too. If it wasn't for the recent super responsiveness of W E I probably would have switched back to JAWS because of the severity and frequency of this problem. Munawar A.

It does help some but I do have to wonder why NVDA JAWS and Screen access to go doesn't seem to have all of these issues.

Sometimes I can tab away from the to line and then tab back and it will read it, but sometimes I just have to trust that the address I typed in is the correct one. I don't know if there's graphics showing that I can disable, or what's going on, but I hear a lot of extraneous text. I'll have to remember trying to redraw the screen, as that's helped in other areas where I've had extraneous text read. I just can't understand why Windows Live Mail has these issues. I'm using Window-eyes 7.11 and Windows 7 64-bit, I think it's the Home Premium version.

Sometimes it reads some of the text of my message, or reads another window altogether. Also, when selecting text in an Email I am writing, sometimes I find that W E will select something that is no where near my cursor. For instance if I have an Email like this: [text line 1] [text desc] [text line 2][text desc2] [signature line 1] [signature line 2] If I select the first line using CTRL+SHIFT+ARROWS, W E may start selecting the second line and so on. Window redraw fixes the problem, but I don't like having to redraw the window just to select text. Another thing I've noticed is if I arrow letter by letter through an Email message, sometimes W E will cause the system to "ding" instead of announcing the letter to the right of the insertion cursor. I've especially noticed this behavior with words that are misspelled, since it reads the letters fine once I correct the mistake. Another really annoying problem is sometime W E will treat a line as blank, when there is actually text there. When this happens, if I arrow over the line using up/down arrow, the system will ding. Arrowing over it letter by letter won't read anything either and keep dinging the system. In the worst case even a window redraw doesn't fix it, I have to move some other piece of text around to hopefully get things to update from W E's perspective. I'm using W E 7.2 beta, Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Is anyone else having these problems? Munawar A.
