  1. Create a configuration profile for Word or your browser (Chrome / Firefox)
  2. Set something noticeable, eg the synthesizer, specific to that program.
  3. Open the elements list (NVDA+F7) in that program.

Note that the profile reverts to the default profile when in the elements list.

Describe the solution you'd like

The user experience is that although the elements list is an NVDA dialog, it is being used in the context of the program in use, and so the configuration profile for that program should be used.

Describe alternatives you've considered

We could have a setting to select whether this is used or not?

Additional context

Currently, other NVDA dialogs such as the general settings dialog, use the program specific configuration, so it makes sense that a dialog used specifically in the context of the current program like the elements list, would be more likely to use the configuration profile than the general settings dialog.
