I'm a web developer using NVDA to test web sites for accessibility. I'm using the NVDA Speech Viewer instead of the voice output. I'm still very new to NVDA, and accessibility in general, so please bear with me...
I noticed the following issue while reading a page one word at a time. Once the current page of the Speech Viewer window fills up, the scroll bar moves down one page. When it does so, it sort of "skips" a line. It doesn't actually skip it - it appears in the output if you scroll back up. However, the fact is you have to switch to the speech viewer window and scroll back up in order to see it. It would be preferable if the scrolling logic was tweaked so that you would not have to do that, especially since switching focus results in other things getting output into the speech viewer window.
Basically, the issue is either the scrolling happens one line too early, or when it scrolls, it scrolls one line too far.
To be a bit more precise with what exactly I'm seeing, here's an example. Suppose the sentence I'm reading is "One two three four five", and that I'm reading it a word at a time using the Numpad+6 shortcut. And suppose the Speech Viewer window already has enough output in it that I'm toward the bottom of the window - let's say the word "three" is the last word that I see on the current page. When I hit Numpad+6 to read the next word, the Speech Viewer window will scroll down and I will initially see a blank window (instead of seeing the word "four"). When I hit Numpad+6 again, I will see the word "five" as the first line on the current page. The only way to see "four" is if I scroll back up in the Speech Viewer window (which disrupts my reading flow, as more output might get added to the Speech Viewer window as I'm switching focus, and when I switch back to the browser window, it loses my place).
