NVDA doesn't always focus the search box correctly in the start menu when first opening NVDA.
It seems to freeze for a few seconds, then randomly it places me in the tiles on the start screen, causing me to have to press left arrow to get back to the menu portion, then if I up arrow I can't get to the search box.
Pressing escape, to exit the menu, then opening it again, lands me in the search box. By this point, however, attempting to do a search causes the search results to not be read automatically. This also causes notifications to not read automatically either, requiring at least 1 restart of NVDA, if not more in some cases, to finally get it working.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a program like Windows Media Player, or Firefox or any desktop program.
- Exit NVDA.
- Restart it and you will notice that you land in what it says is the task bar.
- Press alt+tab to get to the running programs and focus the program you were last in.
- Press the windows key.
- At this point you may notice a major (about 5 to 10 second delay) before it even recognizes that you pressed the windows key, and by that time, it may say pane, or start apps, list, list.
- Try to find the search box located just above your account picture. You will notice that you can't up arrow to it.
- Press escape to exit the menu.
- Press the windows key again and you should hear "Cortana window. Search box edit, blank."
- Type in a search result. NVDA seems not to read the results automatically as it should be.
Note that, in order to see this behavior you may have to attempt this multiple times. It always happens after updating to a new snapshot of NVDA.
Expected results:
After restarting NVDA, going to the last program I was in and pressing the windows key, NVDA should recognize the press of the windows key immediately and place me in the search box, and it should read the results automatically.
This is a very frustrating issue.
Also note, this sometimes happens where it has the delay when opening the start menu, but sometimes the search results still read. It all happens at a random point.
Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to any assistance you are willing to provide.
Thanks,
Brandon
