Steps to reproduce:
In Outlook, when you start typing a contact's name, Outlook displays a list of recently used email addresses and contacts which match what has been typed so far. So, if "Mar" is typed, Outlook will list any Mary's or Martin's in your contacts, or anyone with "mar" in their email address.
To navigate through the list, use the arrow keys and to use the selected contact or address, press enter or tab.
Actual behavior:
When using the arrow keys to move through the list of contacts, NVDA reads "Blank". The only way to have NVDA read the contacts is to hover the mouse over, then the information is read.
Expected behavior:
A user would expect NVDA to read the contacts as the focus moves to each.
System configuration:
Windows 10 fast insider build 17713.1000
Microsoft Office 365 / Outlook 2016 Version 1806 (Build 10228.20104 Click to run) - updated just now.
NVDA Installed/portable/running from source:
NVDA 2018.2.1 portable
NVDA Alpha 15527,9c3f5bc8 installed
NVDA 2016.4 temporary
(Same results with all three versions)
Other information about your system:
In the current build of Windows 10, Narrator does announce "Suggestions available" when the suggestions appear then proceeds to read the first one, and the current suggestion when moving through the list.
Other questions:
Does the issue still occur after restarting your PC?
Have you tried any other versions of NVDA?
I thought this used to work. Reading issue #8055 which talks about the autocomplete list (but encounters an error with Braille), it seems to indicate it was working then (if it wasn't, that surely would have been worth mentioning in that ticket), so it's possibly a regression in a recent build of Outlook.
