Technical information

If there are items in clipboard history, it raises live region change event (coming from data item control) which is caught and announced by NVDA. This issue was reported to Microsoft. In the meantime, Windows App Essentials add-on provides a fix by telling NVDA to ignore live region change event upon object construction.

Thanks.
