[Blindmath] NVDA - chrome - gmail editor problems

[Richard Baldwin]

I know that this is not the correct forum for this message, and for this I
apologize. However, perhaps someone on this forum will know of the correct
forum and forward this message to that forum.

After much frustration and continued troubleshooting, I have determined
that when running NVDA under Vista Home Premium Edition, with the speaker
muted, the Gmail editor running under Google Chrome doesn't work properly.
Many characters are simply ignored and other characters seem to be treated
as control characters. I was running NVDA in its default configuration
except that I had slowed down the speech and selected all punctuation. As
mentioned, I had the computer speaker muted, which may by why it took me so
long to determine the cause of the problem.

This is not the case when running NVDA and using Gmail with Firefox 8. They
seem to coexist with no problems under the conditions listed above.

I don't know about using NVDA and Gmail with IE9. I haven't tried it.
