Patrick,
Let me address each of your issues in this email:
1) FF and flash
Unfortunately the crash you are seeing is related for a FF bug. We have
been fighting with Adobe and Mozilla to get this resolved for some
time. We started with Adobe and after several months they determined it
is a bug in FF and posted the following bug with Mozilla:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781971
I suggest everyone put as much pressure as possible on Mozilla to get
this bug resolved.
We are able to duplicate this bug without Window-Eyes running but using
the Microsoft accessibility testing tools instead.
2) occasional system hang
If you are able to duplicate this with some reliability I can give you
some steps that would help get us debug information to see what is
causing the hang.
3) WLM
I'm not seeing this. If you can give anything that would help repro
this on demand that would be helpful.
4) browse mode nav keys
I want to make sure I'm following... Right now to get to the next
button you can press "NB" but you aren't liking this and would just
rather have a single keypress? The same is true for edit box, combo
box, check box, radio button, list box?
5) formatted selection
This won't make 8.0 but could actually be done pretty easy with a
Window-Eyes app...humm... For now you can just select the entire page
as was suggested and doing the chopping in wherever you are pasting the
content which I assume is something like Word which can retain the
structure or all this is moot anyway.

I detailed some of my issues with WE in my first email to the list,
subject suggestion for browse mode. Also though, I’m seeing a lot of
things get overlooked like the issue with Firefox and youtube videos
causing the system to hang until ff is closed. Also, there’s the
persistent issue of IE and WE both causing the system to hang
occasionally when you have multiple windows using browse mode. This
typicly happens if WE has to be restarted for any reason, and it’s
not consistent. Sometimes it can happen in one windo, and then you
could restart WE again to try and fix the issue and have it be fine in
that window, but have the same thing happen in another.
With Live Mail, sometimes I again have to restart WE because the
message body field will not read when writing a message, and if you
hit windows m and then try and alt tab back, WE has issues focusing,
and I need to restart composing from scratch.
Browse mode is indeed doing better, however, I would like the commands
such as navigating to buttons etc be put in WE itself instead of
either having to use control search or hitting c to get to the control
you want.
I have some of these issues more detailed in other emails, but hope
this helps. Can you make copying formatting included in the final release?

Patrick,
Can you be more specific? Is the copy and paste what makes you say
this or do you have other issues? I hate to see broad statements like
this without more details. It can be very misleading to others.

Thanks. I really feel this needs to be addressed. Window-eyes is way
behind when it comes to this. I know this is beta but coming from
using jaws and nvda ever since 7.5.4.1, I’m left disappointed at
where we 8 beta is still with browse mode.

Hi,
Do an insert b, insert a, insert b, insert c. That will copy the
entire contents of the page to the clipboard where you can paste it
somewhere and strip off what you don't want. Unfortunately there is
no other way to copy individual page elements at this time.

Hi,
I’m trying to select text from a webpage that is a table. However,
W.E does not copy such formatting over. I have to use another screen
reader since W.E only copies the textual info with no formatting. Am
I missing something?
