Hello folks. I wanted to make sure that Doug, Aaron, Steve, Chris, and the rest of the folks (including everybody else on this list) knows about the bug I've discovered still not resolved. The problem happens specifically when you enable the insert key layout mode and bring up Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer, or basically anything where browse mode is necessary and you go to enter something in to any web form edit box control.
Basically, keys at least ont his keyboard, like e, (and possibly others) seem to be ignored utterly by Window-Eyes while insert key layout is enabled. I have to use bypass mode or turn off insert key layout mode entirely in order for keys to respond as designed while typing in to any web form. Otherwise like I say, half the keys quit being intercepted properly by Window-Eyes, requiring either a byypass command so that the application receives them, or again, to turn off the insert key layout mode. I'd like to be able to use the insert key layout app and not have this problem occur. This problem still appears to be present in Window-Eyes latest stable release. Let's see. I'v d th ist yot mod. ow ots o kys r ot ig itptd popy. What I just basically tried to type thre should have come out as: Let's see. I've enabled insert key layout mode. Now half the keys on my keyboard are no longer working properly, or something to that effect. Why don't you try running the browsers on your machines at AISquaired and seeing what happens. Maybe you can release an update that resolves this problem. Note, that this behavior wont' happen if I use notepad, and as far as I know any other application (though you may wish to be sure of this by doing some tests with insert key layout turned on) Double check to see if keys are being seen by the browsers. Judging by my screweed up message where I litterally tried to pres keys like a, e, etc, half the keys were not being passed through the moment insert key layout was turned on. but when turnd off, the keyboard keys were all seeen as if there were no problems. So I do not know of anything else I can tel you to even solve the problem. This problem has existed undetected and apparently not noticed by anybody for a very long time actually going back to probably when the layout was first added. I used ot have issues occasionally with say insert F7 rather than trigggering the browse mdoe list of links etc, occasioanlly say things like no user window or something crazy like that. I don't know if that bug still exists, but you may want to test under prolonged browse mode useage. I hope this helps you effectively at least if nothing else, conduct some tests. I would appreciate you folks getting hold of me even off list if you need to. If you need me to produce audio recordings of this behavior, I can do so as well, but I think you trying to reproduce this on your end with insert key layout mode enabled first is a good idea. Thanks, Doug, aaron, and all ther est who may be abel to figure out why this interception bug most surely still exists specific apparently to when typing in edit boxes inside any of the web browsers Window-Eyes supports as long as insert key layout is enabled. I tested to see if keyboard interception is effected in Microsoft Outlook and Notepad. This was not the case. I do not know about WordPad or Word respectively, but I doubt it. Though a test there wouldn't hurt either. Just try typing with insert key layout in to any web form you want to see if any keys suddenly stop being past through to the application. Hope this helps somebody solve this problem. In case it helps, I'm testing with both Internet Explorrer and Mozilla firefox. Windows 8.1 64 Professional, and latest Window-Eyes, and office 2010 installed here. But I also recall this bug happening to me in Windows 7 with the insert key layout app as well, so I do not think it will matter what OS you test under.
