Hi Eric and list, Firstly, let me say that I am quite pleased with this update because the standard version of Gmail, which already worked quite well indeed with JAWS 10, now works a lot better, so thank you!
There are just a few issues I am still having with Gmail. I'll try to get them into FS technical support tonight but thought I would post them here in case others can reproduce them. 1. In a message list with two or more messages, JAWS doesn't seem to navigate properly using the standard table reading commands. For example, if you are on a message subject and press CTRL+ALT+DOWN ARROW, which would normally move to the next row down, JAWS will say, "bottom of column", even if, in fact, it's not the bottom of the column. It is therefore necessary to use some other means of navigation to move between your messages. 2. Occasionally focus is not retained properly in the rich edit field, when you are composing a message. For example, a say line could read some additional text from the left-hand column of the page in addition to part of the message you're composing. Generally, going out and back into forms mode solves the problem. 3. I have noticed that while ARIA notifications are announced when using the latest beta of Firefox, they do not seem to be announced in Internet Explorer 8. Apart from those issues, however, I am quite impressed with JAWS' performance with Gmail. Keep up the great work!
