[Trainer-Talk] A Google Drive Bug With Chromium-based Browsers

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

It is impossible to know. It could be a week, a month, or a year. It might help for more people to file bug reports.

what’s typically the turnaround time on Bug fix updates for these browsers? I really try and avoid Firefox at all costs but we have a couple of people using G suite so we’ll have to bite the bullet at least temporarily.

Greetings all:



I have identified what I believe to be a bug with Chromium, the engine which supports both the Chrome and Edge browsers. This bug affects users of Google Drive--a Google Workspace product for which first-letter navigation for folders and files has been rolled out starting the beginning of August of this year. I don't know if you are teaching Google Drive to your students, but in case you are, rad on.



Here are the steps to reproduce a significant problem that is manifested in Google Drive.



1.    Send either Chrome, Edge, or Brave to drive.google.com and ensure
you are signed in to your Google Drive.
2.    With the JAWS Virtual Cursor off, enter the command sequence ALT+G,
then F. You should be presented with a list of folders.
3.    Arrow down to a folder you know that contains files and/or folders
and press Enter. What you should get is a list of folders and/or files that are contained in the folder you just opened. What you get instead is JAWS focusing on something called "Not Selected Row".



This sequence produces the same erroneous result in both Google Chrome and Edge whereas in Mozilla Firefox, you get the list of folders and files you would expect to get.



This problem also manifests itself with the NVDA screen reader.



Be on the lookout for this bug to appear on any system where Chrome, Edge, and Brave is updated to the latest available version.



Kind regards,



Curtis Chong
