You just forgot to mention which version of NVDA you used for testing.

I'm pleased to see that the find feature works correctly now in Wordpad and Notepad. I need to point out one problem that may affect not only these applications but others. I find that using review current line, numpad 8, does not update as one repeats a search. The correct text is moved to and can be read with the main keyboard arrow keys but using read current line reads text from an old search. If you move with the main keyboard arrow keys, read current line updates itself properly but if you use only read current line, this does not occur. So, if you want to use f3 to repeat a search many times, you will not see the current text using this command.

While reviewing this message using NVDA, I found another problem. When using read to end, reading always begins at the beginning of a paragraph no matter where you are in the paragraph when using Outlook Express to write a message. If I move to the next paragraph, reading may or may not begin with that paragraph. I haven't worked with this problem enough to provide accurate details, having just found it now. However, the problem exists and I'm letting you know about it. I may report further later. I also see that read current line doesn't necessarily properly read the line you are on while working in the OE message editor.. You may already know about these OE problems but I want to make sure.

I'm pleased to see, in general, how NVDA is developing and appreciate all the work of the developers.
