[nvda] Re: Audacity problem

I don't know if this question can be answered properly for someone without a technical background like me. However, this thread has gotten me curious. While I knew in the past that lack of video hooks imposes limitations in what screen-readers can do, I didn't know much about what these are. My question is, why can a screen-reader without video hooks see text in programs like Notepad, Wordpad, etc. and yet not see text as displayed by Audacity as we have been discussing. There must be some very different way in which the text is displayed.
Another question is whether it makes sense for me to report the kind of problem I found with Audacity if I find something similar elsewhere. Is this just unnecessary information since the lack of video hooks is, evidently likely, the explanation for such problems or is it better to report further cases so they can be definitely determined to be video hook limitations or something else.
