Since we 9.1 can no longer read mail with thunderbird
we goes silent, then thunderbird is not responding,
so I am using nvda to read mail
so thunderbird doesnot seem to be the problem.

Hey folks
Well, I've had Window-eyes 9.1 on my machine for about a day now so I
figured I'd report my findings, to see if anyone else has had similar
experiences. For the most part, things are extremely stable, much
more so than 9.0 was. For whatever reason right in the middle of
surfing a web page or reading an email in Thunderbird, 9.0 would just
go completely silent. no error message was displayed on the screen,
it just closed, as if the program was never opened to begin with.
Pressing the usual hot key alt control w always brought it back so
that was a good thing, but i'm very happy that problem is gone. I
noticed it once or twice when I first installed 9.1 but after
rebooting the machine that little problem appears to have solved itself.
Also, in internet explorer 11, window-eyes still takes a few seconds
to load a web page. it's as ifWindow-eyes hangs for about 15 to 30
seconds, but then if I'm patient enough, it usually comes back. I did
have a few issues where the 9.0 version would never recover from this
issue and the machine would completely lock up, forcing a reboot to
get things on track. Now, it does take a few seconds longer to start
speaking a web page, but it's a whole hell of a lot more reliable, so
lots of improovements there! it's also nice to be able to just copy
plane text to the clipboard. i would really like to have the
traditional copy and paste method back, but like i said before that
probably isn't possible with the way Window-eyes rhendors a web page
now. If it is possible to allow us to use the traditional method of
copying and pasting with the arrow keys instead of the f8 selection
method, let me encourage the AI Squared guys to offer that as an
option in the WE control panel, maybe something in the browse mode
section somewhere?
As far as Thunderbird goes,I'm having pretty good results, but
occasionally, i'm not able to read an email as I type it. I like to
read back what I wrote to hear what it sounds like, just to confirm
what I've said to avoid any spelling errors and such. In 9.0 and 9.1
when composing a new message or replying to one, Window-eyes will say
about blank when using the arrow keys after I've written something,
so I know text is there, but for whatever interesting reason,
Window-eyes isn't able to read it. The interesting part is there are
times i can read it back and other times I can't and there doesn't
seem to be any real rhyme or reason to it, which is really
frustrating as I'd like to give you guys some information so you can
find a fix. Sometimes if I close thunderbird and re-open it the
problem will fix itself, but i never know how many times I have to
close and re-open it. I am using the TB Enhance app, so I'm not sure
if that has anything to do with it.
Firefox does seem to be a bit faster when loading web pages, but
still seems like it's a tad slower than internet explorer is. I
tried google Chrome yesterday, and was impressed with how accessible
it is now! I haven't quite found enough things I like it to make it
my default web browser, but it sure is nice to know I can have 3 web
browsers to choose from now. So, overall i'm pretty happy with 9.1.
Thanks guys!
