[NFBCS] JAWS 2021 Not Reading Window Title When Changing Windows

Hi, Curtis and Nicole,

Just to confirm: Are you saying that you hear nothing when holding down alt and continually pressing tab and only hear something after releasing both keys?

I ask because there's been an intentional change specific to Outlook in order to reduce unnecessary verbosity when opening messages where the opposite is true, namely that you hear everything while Alt is held down and don't hear the final Window name announcement when releasing both keys.

If it is indeed that you hear nothing when holding down Alt and repeatedly pressing tab, this is a serious problem, one that we've not heard about prior to this.

Thanks

 --Glen

I can confirm the same behavior. I've been using JAWS 2021 since the first public beta was released.

It seems to work the same way as JAWS 2020 for me. JAWS 2021 is reading
window titles when I hold down ALT while pressing and releasing TAB.

           Has anyone else noticed that, when using ALT tab to change
Windows, JAWS does not read the title of the window until both keys are
released? In JAWS 2020, if you held down ALT and kept pressing tab to cycle
through the windows, JAWS would announce the titles.
