I am using the native NVDA braille driver labelled Baum/HumanWare/APH braille displays with an APH Refreshabraille 18.
Specifically I have noticed these 3 issues in NVDA 2013.2:
1 The braille input buttons stop working completely after the stick is moved up, down, left, right, or pressed, or any routing key is pressed, or the forward and back keys located on the left and right sides directly under the routing keys are pressed.
They can be fixed by entering the NVDA Braille settings dialog and pressing the OK button, but will stop working again any time you use the stick or routing keys.
2 Sometimes after pressing the buttons to output a computer braille g, meaning dots 1,2,4,5, the g will not be output, but next time I press any of the 6 braille input buttons the g will be output and the input key I just entered is ignored.
3 When pressing the bottom left most key on the display \7/ is output, and when pressing the bottom right most key \8/ is output.
This last item can probably be solved by manually mapping these keys to commands using the gestures.ini file.
I'll admit I am not overly familiar with braille input and am assisting a teacher of the blind and visually impaired.
So my apologies if I'm missing something obvious and there is some simple way to switch back into braille input mode.
My search of the APH documentation has so far not mentioned this.
Thanks in advance.
