It is not possible to route the mouse to an item which is "unknown" #1270

Closed nvaccessAuto closed 8 years ago

Reported by parham on 2010-12-11 14:18 When using insert+numpad slash to route the mouse to the location of the navigator object, I hear the error sound. This should either work (the preferred option), or gracefully and silently fail, perhaps even with a message. The preferred option, however, would be to route the mouse successfully to the item's location, regardless of whether it is or is not an "unknown" item.

Attachment nvda.log added by parham on 2011-01-03 18:13 Description: This is the log file. The program is called "Tascam Piano", a virtually modeled piano program. The object names are read when I navigate through the object navigation, but it is impossible to route the mouse to any object (as shown in the log).

Comment 1 by jteh on 2010-12-20 05:37 This is related to the specific object, not to whether it is unknown. I'm almost certain this does work on many unknown objects, though I can't think of any examples right now. In any case, please provide a specific example and attach the NVDA log containing the error. Changes: Milestone changed from None to None

I attached the requested file.

Comment 4 by mdcurran on 2011-01-04 00:01 I should note that this fix is for unknown objects that don't have any text according to displayModel. Other unknowns that did have text worked ok.
