Moderated Chromium Fix for JAWS Problem Has Been Issued
|
And Chrome and Brave have definitely already integrated it yesterday, and I believe Edge has, too, as it's updating on my machine as I type. One way to force updates on any Chromium-based browser is to look at Help, About {Insert browser name here}. The About dialog always checks to see if any updates exist, and will download them for immediate application if they do.
For those who want the details, see: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/106.0.5249.91..106.0.5249.103?pretty=fuller&n=1000 The key tidbit: AT actions API: Always expose default action at index 0. Nodes are expected to know if they have a default action assigned, and return that knowledge via HasDefaultActionVerb(). We found some cases that, nonetheless, report false incorrectly on Windows platforms. This causes serious regressions with JAWS, so we introduce a workaround to expose the default action unconditionally. (cherry picked from commit c287736e2fce23aef17a48bb2fd0bb1c240da75c)-- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L.

Hi, Brian. Edge was updated, but even Microsoft admits that the newest update to Microsoft was not released to address the context menu activation issue.

Bill,
And even the folks who maintain Chromium describe this as a "workaround" for JAWS. That language is telling. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L. Mencken, AKA The Sage of Baltimore |

That’s why I use Chrome. Edge is always behind with such fixes.
All the best
