[nvda] Re: Some random thoughts

Agreed, perhaps it is just the wording of pane that is confusing people in this instance. If I am not mistaken the actual event MSAA is interpreting here is the focused state. The problem would be that the focused state would end up being announced for each and every object that gains focus. However, if NVDA could be told to only say focused when a new application window comes in focus then it may make more sense verbally to the users. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Broome" <tb777@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Well, before you give an assumption or accusation of bad design; perhaps, you might consider the fact that, the access technology is saying, Selection Cancelled, not removed; and, it is my understanding that this is done after text has been selected for an action to be taken. If the action is taken, whether copying, cutting, etc. and the arrow keys are used, naturaly speech says, Selection Cancelled. But, common sense stands to reason that, if you have already carried out an action with the text selected, the moving of the cursor is just an informational things, so far as speech is concerned. Most of you would no doubt consider Narrator to be a poor reader at best. However, I am one of the odd balls who liked hearing, Foreground Window, spoken when a window gained focus. 
Just Tony's two cents worth!
