Hello Cory,
Regarding Google, are you searching with Google Instant enabled? Does
this happen if you set your IE search provider as Google, perform a
search with Control-E, and press Enter to bring up the results?
We haven't seen the hanging issue with IE8. Is your IE start page set to
blank or for a certain page? Does changing it make any difference?
Regarding Firefox, the public itteration or Window-Eyes 7.5 does not
work well with version 4 of this browser. We believe we have cleaned all
of this up, and it will be in a free update due out soon. In the mean
time, version 3.6 should still work fine, unless of course FF4 has a
feature you simply can't do without.
Regards,
Steve

Hello,
Just wanted to report a couple of issues that I've noticed with Window
Eyes with web browsing:
With Internet Explorer version 8:
Firstly there seem to be issues with Google, specifically after doing a
search, for some reason browse mode doesn't come back on. It can be
enabled with the usual command, however it's the only site which doesn't
seem to bring browse mode back on after entering a search string.
More difficult to identify however is a strange issue which seems to
affect Internet Explorer where when the browser is first opened it just
hangs, yet opening a second instance of it may work just fine. I've
tried resetting it in the advanced tab under internet options, as well
as using C-Cleaner to remove extra files, as well as clearing personal
data. The issue persists, yet with other screen readers it doesn't seem
to happen. This does not seem to be a problem with Firefox.
With Mozilla Firefox latest version:
I switched to Firefox full time after having the unsolvable hanging
problem with Internet Explorer. However with Firefox, there seems to be
issues with staying in forms for entering text. For example if I'm
trying to enter a word in to Google it keeps dropping me back in to
browse mode every time I press the space bar. I've had to use notepad to
type out my search string and then paste it in to the browser. I'm not
sure which is more annoying.
With either browser:
When trying to arrow arrow around in edit boxes on web pages in both
Internet Explorer or Firefox, Window Eyes just makes a ding sound when
trying to review text entered. It is necessary to drop back in to browse
mode to review what's been entered and then re-enter the edit box and
re-position the cursor to where one wants to correct something based on
best guess, or by cutting the text to notepad and editing it there.
Does anyone have any experience with these problems to either confirm or
deny them? Also and more importantly, does anyone know of work-arounds
to these issues?
Thanks,
Cory
