[NFBCS] Say All command is broken in NVDA

[Curtis Chong]

Hello Amanda:

 

If using the Caps Lock key as the NVDA modifier, you need to press NVDA plus
the letter a. This is what the User's Manual
<https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/documentation/userGuide.html?>
indicates.

 

See the below table.

Subject: [NFBCS] Say All command is broken in NVDA

 

Hi, I am using a Dell laptop with Windows 11 and NVDA, with the

keyboard type set to 'laptop'. I normally use the Say All command

(Insert-down arrow) to read long text. Instead of reading continuously

from the current point, NVDA reads the next line, then stops. What's

up, is there a fix, and where do I report the bug?
