[nfbcs] Strange Behavior in Windows Explorer

[Nicole Torcolini]

Thanks, I will check that. For clarification, I use the window where
pressing backspace moves to the next level up. Also, the behavior seems to
have gone away for now. I am beginning to think that it might be worse when
I have a lot of windows open. I will try to notice what factors are in play
when it happens and report back.

Nicole,

My terminology isn't completely accurate.  If you go to the tools menu and
then Folder Options, the "View Option, and then tab over to the list of
possible settings, you will find down toward the bottom a checkbox that says
"Show Preview handlers in Preview Pane.  I turned this off because I had
some trouble when certain preview handlers were slow and also when a file
didn't have one.  I don't remember the exact problem I had but it stopped
when I turned this off.  Lloyd's point is good as well, you might experiment
with Thumbnail settings to see if they help.  Some of these settings can
affect timing.  

Best regards,

Steve

What is the preview pane?

Nicole,

I don't have an answer for you but would ask that you help us all by seeing
if this behavior is consistent with other screen readers.  I have seen cases
where both Window-Eyes and JAWS seems to cause behavior than is different
than expected.  They don't both cause the same behavior, though, so I think
some of this is specific to screen readers and some might be something that
is not entirely stable within Windows.  Even though you may not have
Window-Eyes, try it with NVDA and even Narrator.  Make sure you have the
preview pane turned off.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

                I am using Windows 7. Windows Explorer is doing something
really weird. When I first open a location or go up a folder level, if there
are a lot of folders, instead of staying on the folder out of which I just
came, it will jump down the folder list. For a given location, it always
jumps to the same item, or rather, item in a certain position in the list. I
have tried everything, including maximizing the window and making sure that
the view is in list view, but nothing seems to help. It is annoying and
often leads to unintended results as I usually move faster than JAWS can
talk, so, if events do not happen as expected, I end up in the wrong place.
Has anyone else had this happen, and, if so, what did you do about it?

 

Nicole
