Hi. One of the users from my local users' group wrote to us about some
issues she was experiencing using Window-Eyes and Windows Live Mail. I
wrote the following message and wanted to post it here to see if others
can confirm my findings.
This is regarding some messages regarding using Windows Live Mail and
Window-Eyes. I did a bit of exploration with this combination of
software. What I'm finding is that, when I am in the message composition
window of WLM, Window-Eyes says the word "pane" and not "edit" or words
to that effect. When I'm in the to: cc or subject fields Window-Eyes
correctly identifies the control as an edit control and says the word
"edit", which is what I'd expect. However, in spite of this bug I am
able to use the cursor to freely navigate and edit the text in this
message composition window. This odd "paine" message is spoken
regardless of whether I am replying to a message or just creating a new
one. As I said, I'm still able to use the cursor to review what I've
written. This is a glitch which, while harmless, is something that AI
Squared should consider correcting.
I tried using the insert-R command to reclass this window as either an
edit or richedit control. When I did this, I was unable to use standard
navigation keys to navigate within this window and pressing
insert-ctrl-C did not locate a cursor.
I will send a copy of this message to the Window-Eyes mailing list to
see if others can confirm this behavior.
