[JAWS-Users] Audacity on Windows 10 creators update

[David Bailes]

Up until very recently, running Audacity and Jaws on the Windows 10
creators update could cause Audacity to crash. However, the good news is
that this has be fixed in the latest version of Jaws, version 18.0.4321.

Hi Fernando,
the problem seems to be that when Jaws is running, Audacity is sent additional 
messages to redraw itself, and at times when it is not expecting them. I fear 
that Freedom scientific may not consider fixing the problem with Audacity as a 
high priority, but I hope this isn't the case. In the next release of Audacity, 
we've worked round the problem, but there's no firm release date for this at 
present.

Hi David,
Thank you for the report. I experimented a crash the last time I used Audacity 
on Windows 10 Creators Update with JAWS, but I thought it was an FMpeg-related 
issue. Do you have at least a general idea on what the problem cause is?

[JAWS-Users] Audacity on Windows 10 Creators update

[David Bailes]

If the audio editor Audacity is used with Jaws on Windows 10 Creators
update (version 1703), then Audacity can crash. Fortunately, there are no
problems with other screen readers, so you can use NVDA, for example, until
the problem is fixed.

Freedom scientific are already aware of the issue,

David.
