[nvda] Re: A possible bug in NVDA latest snapshot?

What happens if you use the dialog read command? (insert`+b)

Cheers,

Jimmy!

  Technically, this is not a status line.  It is in a dialog.  You can read 
  the information at the bottom of the dialog using the object navigation 
  keys.  JAWS uses the status line command to simply read the last line at the 
  bottom of the screen in many cases whether it is a status line or not.  I 
  tested this by starting to download a file using Internet Explorer.  While 
  in the download dialog, I used the read status bar command and found that 
  JAWS reads something like open, cancel, and another item.  This is simply 
  the bottom line of the screen and is not a status bar.  I don't know if NVDA 
  should use the same command to read the last line in a dialog.  It may be 
  that another command would have to be added that would read the bottom line 
  of a dialog or of any window you are in. This may have something to do with 
  NVDA's reliance on MSAA to make objects readable.  Others with the technical 
  knowledge to discuss such matters will have to do so further.

  Don't assume that just because a screen-reader reads something that it is 
  the same structure as something else in a different window that is read. 
  Use Keyboard help in JAWS and issue the Read status line command.  You will 
  receive a message that says almost exactly, reads the bottom line of the 
  current window.  That tells you it is not performing the same task as the 
  NVDA read status line command.
