Re: [JAWS-Users] Unable to Select or Change Options On Google SearchSettingsPage
Hi, It's not just you nor is it your screen reader. I've experienced the same with Jfw 13 as well as System Access. Yes the explanation simply put would be that Google has changed their code to the detriment of accessibility. I submitted their accessibility contact form for reporting problems yesterday with little expectation of results. Perhaps if others complain they'll augment their changes improving the situation once again.
