-- I am using Thunderbird - to my knowledge llatest version. Also, I have made sure the TBEnhance app is installed on the computer. This is a Windows 8.1 machine, running WE8.4.
With this outset, I have a couple of experiences, that I find bothersome. Hope there is a fix for any of this, and if not, hope GW will look into it and get a fix going. :) First of all, it is tiresome to hear the message "application Main Window", all the time. Good thing I have the Extended Dictionary running, and simply could replace that phrase with silence. Yet, GW, WHY this bothersome phrase for each window? It only occurs in Firefox and Thunderbird, and for all I can seem to think of, has ABSOLUTELY no beneficial function. Could you enlighten me and the rest of the list, on why this phrase has to be there? And if it has a function, why is it only useful in Mozilla products? Secondly, the TBEnhance app, provides me the hotkeys of Alt-Right-arrow, and Alt-Left-Arrow - to go forward and backward one message. This works fine enough. Yet, everytime I hit any of these hotkeys, it produces the spoken phrase of "not found". Hmm, what is it that is not found? The next or previous message comes up well enough, so apparently it is not the message that is unable to be found. If you want to have the speech inform me of some lacks, then please could you let it tell me what the lack is? not just say that something is not found. Thirdly, I have set my powermanagement so that every time I close the lid on my laptop, the computer goes to sleep (hybernate). Great. I can just open the lid, and in a couple of seconds be up running where I left off. What is not so great, is that the TBEnhance app, seem to not load, when this wakeup takes place. I can confirm this by this simple step. 1. Running Thunderbird and thereby also the TBEnhance app, I can use the Alt-Right and Alt-Left hotkeys to scroll through the messages. 2. Close the lid, and the machine hybernates. 3. Reopen the lid, and let the machine wake up. 4. Go to your already open Thunderbird session, and try the hotkeys. They have no effect. 5. Go to the WE Control Panel, open the app menu, turn off TBEnhance, then turn it right back on. 6. Alt-Tab back to Thunderbird, listen to the thunderstorm and bird-tweeting sound, and now try your hotkeys. Everything is back in order. This behavior is consequent, and fully reproduceable on this system, steadily. Please, what is the trouble here? How to fix it if possible? If not, please have it fixed. This is - from what I can discern - only going on with the TBEnhance app. The other apps on my system, seem to load just fine, when coming out of hybernation. The fourth issue I am having with Thunderbird, is in the "Search For Messages" dialog. Not sure if I really want to blame all of it on Thunderbird alone, since WE seem to have certain issues in reading lists and comboboxes in things like Windows Explorer as well. Anyway, let's consentrate for the moment, on the Search For Messages dialog in Thunderbird. I have several mailing accounts, and some messages come on one server, others on the other ones. Allright, in the dialog, thaere is a combobox, where I am telling Thunderbird in which of the inboxes to search for a given message. Thing is, when arrowing up and down this combobox, WE does get stuck on one account name, and insists on telling this name - no matter what the combobox shows. That is, say I have Account1, 2 and 3. When opening the dialog, I land on the combobox, and Account1 is focused. I arrow down, and WE says "Account1". I arrow down once again, and WE says "Account1". I press arrow down a hundred times more, and you can have your fun in guessing what WE tells me upon each arrowing. :) Do you think it gives any other result, should I decide to use the UP-Arrow? Well, then try for yourself. :) Now, if I in the Combobox press arrow once, then tab away and back to the combobox, here WE will tell me "Account2". Press arrow again, tab away and back to the combobox, and WE will correctly report the contents focused. Name all of this fully accessible, and see if I agree. :) Why is this? It even seem to be the case with a few of the other controls in this dialog, that things are not correctly read. I cannot see any reason for this, and am not aware of any setting in WE, that could cause it. Please tell me if I am wrong. Anyone else experiencing these issues?
