[nvda] Re: Try this.info on address book size
This account only receives email from Hi, on the size of address books and vanishing menus. Its obviously not as simple as it might seem. It will always do it if the address book is 700 entries, but when you get down to 638 and lower first the context menu returns, then the main menu starts to only go away sometimes. All this is as you do operations on the list of email addresses lik send, delete add etc. So, its getting hard to actually tell a bottom limit to the problem, but 350 seems quite OK to me. Now you may be thinking, who in their right mind would have that number of addresses in their book. Well let me tell you, when you start dealing with councils, the NHS, and government departments, its not hard to achieve!
As you can imagine, nobody ever sends an email to say they have left or wahtever, so until you have cause to email them, you do not really know if they are still current of course.
So, I will continue deletion from a copied address book down from the 614 I have at the moment when its sometimes a problem and sometimes not if you like, but I have no more time just now.
The surprise is that the two menus are affected differently and I also notice that sometimes the yes and no boxes or whatever also stop working The big snag is that the error persist in other applications until you terminate nvda and restart it.
With no error sound only that queue full stuff to go on, I hope this has been of help.
Unfortunately, as the nvda menu also fails to read in this condition, one has often a problem getting at the log and grabbing it.

I have a machine here with OE not set up so if I can get the time and brain
cells I'll give it a whirl with a dummy address book.
I guess its the weird way the address book shuffles up and down the visible 
list  from an internal bigger list. it always did seem a completely silly
way to do stuff, as things stay in there and are just masked it seems.

Making sure the name 'Brian Gaff' is in the display name field.
Failure to do this may result in delays or message loss.

Some sacrifices are a fact of life in our junk mail  riddled world!

Oo, how many, a lot I'd say.

If possible, try to find out how many is necessary to reproduce this
problem. It's possible that it won't occur with small addressbooks, so
the test may depend on this.


I have never filed a ticket, so is it easy to do?
