I can confirm issues 2 and three on the Amazon site. 

With respect to 2 and 3, this never used to happen.

 

 

2.  On the Amazon (non-screen reader optimized) site, starting at the top of
the page, using the quick-navigation key to find the next combo-box, yields
the message "no combo-box."  However, moving to the edit box, hitting
<ENTER> and then shift-tabbing lands me in the combo-box.
3.  I hear "list list list ..." and "end list end list end list ..." far too
frequently when arrowing up and down Web pages.  This happens on numerous
sites but can be observed on the amazon site.

Subject: Beta 2 observations

 

AI Staff:
  Thank you for fixing the irritating repetition of button labels in
Firefox.
  Below please find some irritations I am experiencing in the second beta.
I understand that some of these may be due to my specific configuration but
....
  There are three irritations I have noticed still in the second beta, both
using Firefox 34.  They also existed in FF 33.  I have noticed none of these
in IE 11.
  In case it matters:  I have auto browse mode turned off and I have
Window-Eyes set to read nothing upon entering a page.

1.  Upon first entering a Web site, it seems like focus is lost.  Using the
arrow keys to start moving down the page yields silence, even after allowing
ample time for the page to load.  The quick-navigation keys also do not
work.  After tabbing once or twice, things start to work the way one would
expect.
2.  On the Amazon (non-screen reader optimized) site, starting at the top of
the page, using the quick-navigation key to find the next combo-box, yields
the message "no combo-box."  However, moving to the edit box, hitting
<ENTER> and then shift-tabbing lands me in the combo-box.
3.  I hear "list list list ..." and "end list end list end list ..." far too
frequently when arrowing up and down Web pages.  This happens on numerous
sites but can be observed on the amazon site.

  In IE 11, when typing a URL in the CTRL-l dialog, Window-Eyes repeats
itself too much.  I.E. If I start typing "www.ama" the IE suggestion guesses
correctly that I am typing "www.amazon.com" and Window-eyes starts to read
the auto-complete text, but IE insists on putting the "/" at the end of the
URL.  Since I'm stubborn and insist on typing the URL myself, Window-Eyes
shuts up once I type the next character.  The irritation occurs once I have
finished typing.  I don't put the "/" at the end of my URL.  Once I have
stopped typing I hear "slash" about a half dozen times.  I would only expect
to hear it once.

  Another item of interest is that I can no-longer get WE to read the "TO,"
"FROM" and "SUBJECT" etc. headers using the Outlook hotkeys.  I'm using
Outlook 2010.  This issue only seems to occur in messages I have received as
I was just able to read those fields in this message during the composition
process.  I don't recall making any changes to my Outlook settings recently.
I'm pretty sure I used to be able to read the headers in question at some
point in the past.

  "using Win 7 HP 64 bit.

  Great job so-far.  Keep it up.
