920120 - Starting with SM2.21, NVDA no longer sees graphic images when pressing G or shift-G to move to the next or previous graphic, respectively.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[David Goldfield]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.21 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130916112225

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Ensure that the NVDA screen reader is loaded.
2.  Open the Seamonkey Web browser.
3.  Go to the location bar and type www.archive.org, followed by the enter key.
4.  Go to the search box and type in a search term which you know will be found on this page.  As an example of something which is certain to generate search results, type in the phrase "little women" followed by the enter key.
5.  When the results page loads, press the letter G to attempt to move to the next graphic symbol on the page.


Actual results:

NVDA will say "no next graphic."


Expected results:

In Seamonkey 2.20 and earlier, NVDA would speak the line followed by the word "graphic" such as "movies, graphic" "texts, graphic", etc.

Are you using latest 2013.2 NVDA release?

Yes, I'm using NVDA 2013.2.  I've also verified that this issue likely began with SM 2.21.  It works properly with the latest version of Firefox with NVDA 2013.2.

I don't have Seamonkey (yet). David do you know if this happens in Firefox? Marco can you confirm?

Comment 5

[Marco Zehe (:MarcoZ)]

I cannot confirm with either Firefox or SeaMonkey 2.21, which has come out of beta on the 17th of September. In both browsers, I can move to the graphics on the searc results page with the letter g just fine.

OK thanks. Hopefully this got fixed somehow. David, please reopen if the problem surfaces.

For some reason, this problem has not been resolved, at least on my system.  Using Seamonkey 2.22 and the latest master snapshot of NVDA, I am still not able to identify graphic symbols by pressing the letter G or shift-G.

Do you have loading of images disabled? I can't reproduce this with images enabled, but i can with them disabled. Arguably, this makes sense, but it's certainly controversial.

Is this still present in latest SeaMonkey version?
