Hi NVDA developers and contributers. First of all i would like to extremely congratulate you on bringing such a nice screen reading solution for windows OS, even for free! I really appreciate this project, and using NVDA as the default screen reader. Unable to donate yet being a student, but my moral support is always with you.
Now, let's come to the point. As the title said, I've tried a lot to use chrome as the default browser, but an issue preventing me to do so. When i enter text in an edit field on any web page, NVDA doesn't navigate that entered text in the field properly. For example, if i've typed my e-mail address on the gmail login screen which is abdullah5490@gmail.com, when i try to read the insurted text by characters with left/right aerrow, it will not read the text in proper seequence. In this case, i press home key to move curser at the start of the text, on the character "a", now when i press right aerrow, it will speak the next character which is "b", when i press right aerrow again to read the next character, it will repeat the previous character which was "a", or the current character which is "b". even the curser has moved to the next character "d", but NVDA ocasionally speak it at that time, but mostly, it went back speaking the previously crossed characters. Similarly, if i want to check the previous character by left aerrow, it will speak even the next character instead of previous one, or sometime it said "blank", even there is a text in the field.
I hope i am able to clarify my point in front of you. Due to this problem, it is impossible to read the insurted text in a field properly, and duet o improper seequence while navigating it, The user will unable to understand what they have typed in the field. This issue began in the latest release of 2016.4. I am using chrome latest version 55.0.2883.87, latest at the time of this post.
Looking for your possitive comments and feebback.
