It would seem that such multi-line items are repeated as you navigate up or down through the particular document using your arrow keys. The workaround which seems to work is to temporarily turn off Google’s Braille Support using the CTRL+ALT+H Google command.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>As you navigate through each multi-line list item, it seems that everything is fine until you reach the end of the multi-line item. Arrowing down or up to the next or previous line, respectively, causes the entire item to start being read out loud again--at least using JAWS.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Here is a link to the test document I used to reproduce this problem:<br><br><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J8AuPIZI349JPMg2uXTAGXBNRBkNMluiw_6deqTEYAA/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J8AuPIZI349JPMg2uXTAGXBNRBkNMluiw_6deqTEYAA/edit?usp=sharing</a>.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>For anyone who wants to just copy and paste something into a blank Google Docs file, here, shown below, is what I created, pasted directly from my Google Docs file.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;vertical-align:baseline'><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'>This is the first bullet item which is only one line in length.<o:p></o:p></span></i></li><li class=MsoNormal style='color:black;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3;vertical-align:baseline'><i><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'>This second bulleted item needs to stretch on and on to achieve a multi-lined bulleted item in this list.
