JAWS 22 Not Reading File Names By Character In File Explorer

Mark Fisher #100377 Hi - happy weekend. I've noticed lately that JAWS 22 latest release is not reading file names in file explorer letter by letter. Using JAWS 22 and Windows 10. If I go to a folder in file explorer, ensure it has focus, press the F2 key to edit the name, when i left or right arrow through the name, nothing is spoken. When I'm editing, commands such as JAWS Key+Numpad 4 or 5 or 6 are not behaving as I would expect. Highlighting the text using Ctrl+Shift+left or right arrow will read the newly highlighted text. Any clues? Cheers -- Mark Fisher Manager - People Systems Water Corporation of Western Australia

Bill White #100378 Hi, Mark. I am using Windows 10, Version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.1949) JAWS Version 2022.2207.25 ILM I am not experiencing the problem you describe with JAWS 2022, and Windows 10, not reading filenames character by character in File Explorer. May I suggest a repair of your version of JAWS using the installation file that you used to install your version of JAWS. This may correct the problem.

Mike B. #100380 Hi Mark, If these are folders that are default / syystem created folders you can't do this. The folder has to be a folder that's created by you the user in order for it to be edited. Take care. Mike.

Mark Fisher #100381 Hi All These are folders and files created by me. It does seem to be intermittent - this morning, all is working as you would expect. So it might just be JAWS getting itself a little confused. I will try the repair as well just to see if that helps. As mentioned above, the issue arises when I am in file explorer and I try to rename a file or folder that I've created. When editing the name, JAWS would not read each letter as I left and right arrowed across the name. Anyway, I'll put it down to a problem that is hard to reproduce. Thanks all and have a great weekend. -- Mark Fisher Manager - People Systems Water Corporation of Western Australia

Steve Nutt #100414 Hi, Why press F2 to read a file name character by character? Simply press the Insert Up Arrow key twice quickly, when you’re on the file name. I don’t like the F2 method, because you can change the name of a file by accident.

Mark Fisher #100424 Hi Steve Agree - however, I was actually trying to change the file name and was getting no feedback from JAWS hence the question. -- Mark Fisher Manager - People Systems Water Corporation of Western Australia

Steve Nutt #100426 Ah, I beg your pardon, I thought you were just trying to read it.
