  16. oh gosh, wasn't there an add-on that forced UIA in Chrome for NVDA? Or am I dreaming of this. Would sure help me as enabling the flag: "Override software rendering list
    Overrides the built-in software rendering list and enables GPU-acceleration on unsupported system configurations. – Mac, Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, Android
    #ignore-gpu-blocklist" breaks all NVDA cursor tracking and reading in multiline controls. I kid you not. Test it yourself, enable it and restart. No idea what this does to break #NVDASR but there it is, it breaks it. I could repro it on two machines, go ahead. Chrome://flags is where it's at. (ah yes, this is now in NVDA's advanced prefs, yay! no add-on needed!)
    And yup. Doing that setting, to use UIA in Chromium and Edge to yes fixed it all. Wow, facepalm moment, ugh.

    But today, we really wanted to put the focus on YOU, our dedicated Braille users, for all YOU do spreading awareness, and promoting use of Braille, not just with NVDA on the PC, but in all aspects of life.

  18. One of the themes which came through from the NVDA Satisfaction Survey earlier this year, was to improve Braille support. To help us target the most needed improvements, we have created a short survey. If you use NVDA with braille at least some of the time, please consider completing this survey.
