The pattern seems to be that if I TAB to a setting that tells one to press F6 to go to Pop-up that controls are no longer spoken. I have tried pressing F6 in case a pop-up can be closed but nothing speaks. For a specific example, going to the Audio tab and tabbing through the speaker settings one will encounter a control that says “For gallery or immersive view only. Not supported with wireless headphones. Press F6 to reach the popup”. At that point, pressing TAB speaks nothing. On occasion, speech has returns, but stops when I hit the next control with a pop-up. The behavior seems to be the same with JAWS, NVDA, and Narrator. I am using Windows 11 on both machines. Everything seems to work if I navigate with the JAWS Touch controls. Is this something that is happening to others?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Steve Jacobson<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
