Hi Peter,
I just took another look at the address bar because, as I said, I just
Alt-D, Control-C, F6. What I realized is that the cursor is always at
the end of the line. Once I realized that arrowing back always works.
Then I went to my GMail account and logged in. Arrowing worked there as
well.
Try the following in IE.
Alt-T Tools.
O Internet options.
Shift-Tab up to the General tab and arrow over to Advanced.
Tab once to Accelerated graphics.
Arrow down once to Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering and
press space to check it and turn it on if it's off.
Tab down to the Apply button and press space.
Close and reopen IE.
Hth,
Tom

Hello Tom,
Thanks for your advice, but I am still curious as to why the ability to
read with the arrow keys has suddenly been removed. The same thing has
happened with edit boxes on web pages, such as when I am trying to get
to my gmail account on the web. To make sure I have typed my user name
correctly, I have to type it in NotePad and then copy and paste it into
the web page edit box.

Peter,
:I've always done the same, just with Alt-D to go to the address bar and
then F6 to return to the page, and it works fine. I can't read the text
immediately with the arrows because it's all selected by default. So I
just press Control-C to copy it, which is the only reason I'm going
there anyway. But if I arrow back and forth a bit it will start reading
after IE catches up and deselects the URL.
For what it's worth, this is on Windows 10.
Hth,
Tom

Hello all,
I hope someone can help me with a strange problem I have when on the
internet. I am using Window-Eyes on a Windows8.1 machine and I
normally use IE to get to web pages. I used to be able to get the url
of the page I am on by pressing F6 when I can read the url with my
arrow keys and copy it to my clipboard. About a month ago, this
suddenly changed. Now when I press F6 I can no longer read the url
with my arrow keys to copy it to my clipboard, though I can read it
with my mouse when I route mouse to cursor. How can I regain this
capability?
I hope what I have described makes sense and I hope someone can help
me out.
Thanks in advance.
