Scripts might be possible but it shouldn't be necessary and it's bad because each one has a different scripting vocabulary. I think that what is happening is that the SWT text widget is giving the screen reader the entire paragraph when it asks for a line. Basically the "soft" returns are invisible to the accessibility interface in the SWT widget. I think Ken might have a contact with someone who works on the SWT widgets so maybe we can do something there.

Are there configuration settings that could be changed to make them read by word or by sentence? Or would it be possible to write scripts so that a screenreader behaves a certain way when BB is run?

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.

BB should now open more varieties of document consistently. A trade-off at the moment is that there are screenreader issues with occur.

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
