Re: VS2010 Poses Challenge Against Visually Challenged

Yes ... you are right. I have also downloaded the portable version of
NVDA and gave it a try on VS and it worked with code editor. In fact,

with grate predictability.
So the problem now seems to be with Jaws — may be some scripting may
help to solve it.
