Insert+Up (NVDA+Up) is used in NVDA to report the current line under the application cursor. Pressing it twice will spell the current line. Pressing three times will spell the line using character descriptions. However, pressing it on many controls in Google Chrome 127 forces NVDA to remain silent instead of reporting the current line or spelling the current line. This happens in various places like the menu (ALT+F), the list of bookmarks (ALT+F+B), etc.
Note: the issue was originally reported with Chrome 83, but it's duplicable with Chrome 127.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Google Chrome and press Control+D to create a bookmark.
- Press Tab or SHIFT+Tab to move around various controls in the Bookmark creation dialog and press Insert+Up (NVDA+Up) on each control, once or twice.
- Alternatively, you can simply press ALT+F in Google Chrome and try pressing Insert+Up on items such as History submenu, Bookmarks submenu, Make text smaller, Make text larger, Full screen, Find, More tools, etc.
- You may also try pressing Insert+Up on your Bookmarks in the Bookmarks submenu.
Actual behavior:
For most controls and items above, using Insert+Up forces NVDA to remain silent.
Expected behavior:
For these controls and items, NVDA should report the current line under the application cursor or spell it.
