I don't know how it got there but there was an alias in the config names.ini file that renamed msedge to Microsoft Edge. Deleting that line resolved my problems with Edge. Now I just have to figure out how to turn off having JAWS say all the function keys and to restore having it say "cut", "copy", and "paste" like it used to before all this began. Gene...

On another note, I may be looking at having to do a complete reinstall of Windows, I suspect that the same gremlin that is causing JAWS to read the page contents under the cursor instead of the page titles when I am switching between tabs is also responsible for insert+V quick setting to fail with these two errors: unknown function call to: getListNestingLevelAnnounceInfo and --------------------------- QuickSettings Validation Error msedge --------------------------- Error parsing settings --------------------------- OK --------------------------- And this same gremlin may also be causing the new notification rules feature to not work. The strange thing is that this seems to be some sort of conflict between JAWS and Edge because JAWS seems to be working normally everywhere else. All this started about a month ago, possibly after some update to either Windows or JAWS. Gene... On 6/25/2022 11:06 PM, Adrian Spratt wrote:

I am using the latest version of Edge. I do not experience this problem when pressing CTRL+TAB. I hear the title of each page. Cordially, Curtis Chong -----Original Message-----

Time was that in Microsoft Edge, when you used control+tab to switch from one tab to another, JAWS would read the page title which made it easy to find the tab you wanted, but now JAWS reads what ever is where the cursor is. Is there a way to have JAWS read the page titles like it used to or is this something that Freedom Scientific has to fix themselves? Thanks! Gene... |
