We recognize the importance of being able to review the screen with the
mouse -- we pioneered this technology in Window-Eyes. When Microsoft
changed the way they drew text on the screen in IE9, it caused
Window-Eyes mouse navigation to stop working. During the process of
researching and developing new ways to make Window-Eyes work better on
the web, given our resources, we had to decide what was more important:
making access to information more accurate via Browse Mode, or
concentrate on enhancing mouse navigation.
The fact of the matter is, despite the usefulness of mouse navigation,
more users rely on getting accurate information through browse mode, so
that's what we concentrated on. We never indicated that we didn't care
about mouse navigation, nor did we ever indicate that we would never
provide a solution. In fact, we have discussed various way to make this
work, and plan on doing so in a future version.
I caution taking disgruntled opinions as fact. Use this, instead: we are
aware of the issue, we recognize the importance of this feature, and we
are working to provide a solution as Window-Eyes continues to evolve.
Thanks,
Aaron

Here is what I remember in answers I got from GW on this matter. The
first response I got from GW when IE 9 came out was that WE would
not be
able to review a web page with the mouse keys because of a change in
IE 9.
Now during the beta cycle I was told that other screen readers could
review IE 9 web pages with the mouse keys and with some work WE
could be
made to do it as well. When I indicated how much I liked this
feature I
got the impression right or wrong that GW didn't see it as a real
priority
need and that I was only in a minority of users that would like to have
this feature back. So again I only want to express my wish that the
next
version of WE include this feature once again. Of course I could use
Firefox but it is well known some web pages work better with IE and
some
work better with Firefox.

Yes, IE9 has been out a long time, which also means that GW Micro has
had a long time to fix the problem.

Hi all. in the mean time if you want to review web pages with the
mouse pointer and can't go back to IE8 for whatever reason, there is
always Firefox. You can do it there. Also know that this isn't
anything new considering that ie9 has been out for a long time now.
