[Trainer-Talk] Question: NVDA Silent When First Opening and Saving a Document in Word 2013 and 2016

[Scott Davert]

Hi David.
I'm seeing this in both Win 10 Anniversary Edition and also Win 7 with the latest build of NVDA. Feel free to consider this one confirmed.

Thanks!
Scott

David,
I don't know if there is an open ticket, but I have experienced the same things here, running Win 10 Anniversary, NVDA, and Office 2016.

I posted the following message on the NVDA discussion list. I've chosen to repost it here to see if other fellow a.t. trainers have experienced similar behavior, either on your machines or with users who you support.


The observation I'd like to ask about occurs on my desktop PC running Windows 10 Anniversary Edition but I also notice similar behavior on a Windows 7 laptop. The desktop has Office 2016 installed and the laptop has Office 2013.

When I first open Word NVDA is often silent, rather than speaking the title of the program which has gained focus. In other words, the expected behavior is that, once Word opens and gains focus, NVDA would verify this by speaking the title of the window, such as "document 1, Microsoft Word." However, when opening Word after the system has booted this does not happen. NVDA is silent and pressing insert+T just reads "winword." At this point, if I move focus away from and then back to the document window NVDA reads the title as expected. As an example, if I press the alt key once to move to the ribbon and then a second time to return to the document I will hear "Document 1, Microsoft Word." 
Subsequent attempts to open Word usually cause NVDA to behave as expected and the title of the document window is automatically spoken.

Along the same lines, I see similar behavior when attempting to save a document by pressing ctrl+S. When I press this key, the "save" dialog loads but NVDA is totally silent. If I press the alt key twice, NVDA then confirms that I am in the dialog. Another NVDA user brought this up during a recent computer users' group that I moderate and so I decided to post these experiences to this group to see if others have observed similar behavior.
I'm wondering if an open ticket exists for this bug on Github.
