Chip and David,
I just tried this by raising an error in one of my apps and discovered
the problem.
I tab to and activate the restart app button and as you say the dialog
closes and you would think your app had reloaded. But if I read the
error window with Control-Shift-W it says that the reload button is
disabled. So who knows.

Subject: Restarting apps, Not Working
I meant to report this for a while now, but seem to forget. So here we
go, finally:
Every now and then, one app or the other may crash. Reasons could be
many, and I do hold it is not the important thing in this issue either.
When the app crashes, though, you get a screen reporting the crash, with
several choices. One choice is to RESTART the app. I hit the
corresponding hotkey, or tab over to the Restart-button and hit Enter,
and the screen disappears.
You now would reason that the app has done what the button suggest;
restarted the operation. But, NOPE! To just give you but one example -
and yet it occurs no matter which app is in question - just now the
Weather-Or-Not app crashed at me. I hit the Restart-button, waited a few
seconds, and then hit the hotkey to activate the weather report
(Ctrl-Insert-W). No weather report. Hit the hotkey a hundred times, and
no weather report.
I then took the trip to the WE panel, and opened the App Manager.
Scrolling down to the actual app, it was listed as "Stopped". Had to
manually restart it from within App Manager.
As stated, have noticed this same behavior with a few other apps, which
leads me to conclude it is not app related. Seems the Restart
functionality is broken. Not sure when it got broken, I have noticed it
for quite a while. Somehow have a feeling that it happpened with one of
the later upgrades of the screen reader. Could as well go back to
version 9.0.
Just wondering if anyone else can reproduce the issue. Or, even better,
if this could be fixed for future versions of the screen reader. Guess
it is in the core of the screen reader itself, since it exhibits on all
apps crashing.
AISquared, any explanation as to why the Restart-button in the crashing
screen won't work, when the manual restart from within App Manager does
work perfectly well? I've always thought it to be quite convenient to
have the Restart-button in the crash-screen, instead of having to travel
the long way around the App Manager, hunting for the actual app. If this
please could be fixed, it would be great. Can''t really imagine what
setting in the screen reader should cause this to not work either.
