[nfbcs] Hummingbird and braille

[Doug Lee]

Are there active scripts when you are in this terminal program? What do you see in the Script Manager if you type Ins+0, using the 0 above the letter p that is, while in the emulator? If you do this, just close the Script
Manager when done with Alt+F4. Do not save any changes.

I am using the terminal emulator Hummingbird, Jaws18, and an Alva braille
display.  The braille behaves differently between Remote Desktop and real
desktop on the laptop.

behaves as it should.From the laptop, the braille jumps around.  If I hit
"advance" to read the right side of the line, it moves over for a
nanosecond, then jumps back to where it was.  If I find something in edit,
it starts rapidly shifting right and left, so it's unusable.

So far as I can tell, the settings for Hummingbird on the laptop and my work
desktop are the same, though Hummingbird's font settings just say larger and
smaller, so I can't tell the exact size, and it does make a difference in
how well Jaws reads the screen.

The speech is OK in both places; it's the braille that's all wonky.

 

Can anyone point me in a useful direction?  I have not asked the charmers at
Jaws Tech Support yet.  From past experience, their knowledge of remote
desktop and terminal emulation is nonexistent.
