Hi Vic.

I'm not sure what we can do about the screen reader issues. WE understand the 
problem but it really is between SWT's accessibility interface and the screen 
readers. We can at some point go back to putting in hard new-line characters, 
which is what made it work for a while, but that really isn't a good solution 
in my opinion.

Vic,
I made changes to the layout so that more document, such as your Acts file 
would open.
BB should now open more varieties of document consistently.
A trade-off at the moment is that there are screenreader issues with occur.

Brandon and Keith,

NVDA and Orca are broken with the latest changes to BB. Now 100% of the time
they read the entire paragraph when moving up or down with the arrow keys.
NVDA was reading practically flawlessly before these latest updates.
Ironically, W-E is working better now. The only problem it is having now is
that it doesn't track the cursor when switching between views until it
moves.


Best regards from Ohio,

Vic
