This happens to me, too, but more with Reply. Can't proofread my
messages as it goes somewherre else or doesn't speak. I'm replying to
your message but don't want to use backspace or even, once, arrow keys.
Updated a few days ago. If I want to reply I usually open a new message.

Everything has worked fine here, with Thunderbird and WE9.54.
After updating Thunderbird, I have done a real restart of my computer,
as I know this usually is necessary when updating things.
Now I can navigate the lists of mails in TB, and opening them, I can
read the content just fine.
But whenever I try to write a message, WE has big trouble. It echoes
well enough my typing, and if I use the backspace I will be told what
character is being deleted. But try using the Arrow-keys, to navigate
what you are writing; it simply does not work. If you Shift-Tab back to
edit the subject line, WE is silent as to what is in the subject field.
Tabbing back to the main body of the posting, all WE will say, is
About:Blank.
Should you decide to try turning on Browse mode, WE lets you do so, and
then just dings at any keystroke - even the Tab-key. And just forget to
turn off browse mode again, you are told that Browse mode is not available.
Listers,
Is this the end for newer versions of the mailing program - just as well
as we have seen with the newest versions of the Firefox browser? If so,
is there any place to download the latest working version of
Thunderbird? Or, is it my computer that is all mixed up? Anyone else
seeing these behaviors?
I managed to write - and edit my postings - by help of NVDA. So
apparently, that screen reader keeps up with Mozilla's ever ongoing
eagerness of changing layout. Have not yet tried Jaws, so don't know if
any of the above will apply.
thanks for any feaedback.
