[Blindmath] Stata

Tue Sep 1 15:43:12 UTC 2015

Now I have received additional feedback from Stata tech support saying
that the scrollback buffer is actually an edit field but that the
label is after the field, rather than preceding it. I tested with both
JAWS and NVDA and no edit field for scrollback buffer exists. I can
read the setting in JAWS cursor or by the control "Insert plus B", but
cannot edit it that way. There was an edit field labeled "line gap"
that was set to 200, so I assumed that must have been an incorrectly
labeled field because the previous field was labeled "behavior" and
was set to 1. So, I adjusted the incorrectly labeled "line gap" field
from 200 to 32 as suggested by tech support. After all of that, NVDA
is still not reading my results window.
