[NFBCS] Ironic Bug With Microsoft 365

[Curtis Chong]

Louis:

This has nothing to do with what screen reader is in use. This is a problem
which will hit visual folks.

Hi Curtis,

Does this happen with NVDA and Narrator? If you are in a message, and you
unload JAWS, does the message reappear visually?

Greetings and felicitations:

 

Apparently, there is a recent update to Microsoft 365 which blanks out the
message screen in Outlook. While JAWS can read the contents of messages,
people who need to see them cannot. The folks at the Disability Answer Desk
have asked me to check back with them because their engineers need to figure
out what has happened. They are getting a number of calls about this
problem.

 

My computer is afflicted with this problem, so if I need to ask a reader to
look at something, guess what. They won't be able to.

 

Cordially,

 

Curtis Chong
