Well, my Flash complained, it needed an update. I went to the website,
and remembered from earlier cases, that you need make sure to uncheck
the one and only checkbox on that website, or you will find yourself
with some bloatware from McAFee installed. With WE8.4, this was not much
of a deal. hit the X-key, and you landed on the checkbox.
Yeah, that was in the "old days"; wasn't it? With WE9B3 running, and
thereby the new brose mode, there is no chance. Not in Internet
Explorer, nor in Firefox. You can hit that x-key from now and until the
moon raises. All you hear, is "No Checkboxes".
Strange thing, I reasoned. Would it really be the case? Could it really
happen that they finally grasped some sound reasoning, and removed the
bloatware? Well, how long do you think I was lefft with that impression?
Only till I arrowed my way down the page. It sure enough, gave the same
old silly information, to install the Mcafee thing. Simply just no
checkbox to uncheck.
Finally, I loaded NVDA. OK, I know, the new browse mode is under
development, and I know this is only a Beta. But when a free screen
reader manages to see a checkbox, which our paid-for reader used to see;
I simply report this as a clear-cut bug and missing in the new browse
mode. Unless anyone else have luck in seeing it, bringing me to the
conclusion that I must have messed up things locally.
Have tried this over several days, in both browsers, in three different
User Profiles, and only get the same result. WE does not recognize the
checkbox on that site. Just wondering how many other checkboxes the new
browse mode does ignore. In fact, I had the same experience in a netshop
the other day. Before I can pay my basket, it requests me accept the
sales agreement, by checking a checkbox. No chance with the new browse
mode. It does not recognize there is a checkbox, only reads the text as
plain text. You can hit spacebar on it, and it tells you the keystroke
is "Wrong". You can search for a checkbox, and it reports there is no
checkbox on the page. You can do what you want, but it does not cooperate.
Staff members, can you reproduce?
Other listers, anyone else see this missing checkbox stuff?
