@rperez030 is this still reproducible in NVDA 2024 4 Beta? cc: @burmancomp, @Emil-18, @codeofdusk could anyone of you test as well please?
@Adriani90 It is reproducible in the latest beta version of NVDA. To fix this however, I think we need to change how braille.handler.message or the LiveText class works. If we just report the spoken content in braille with ui.message, it will only show the last spoken text in braille. For example, in the following code, braille would only have shown "Text3" or ">>>" print("Text1\nText2\nText3")
when the NVDA setting to report dynamic content changes is on, these changes should appear as flash messages in Braille. This can be seen as an enhancement, but I am reporting it as a bug because it can create a significant barrier for screen reader users that are deaf-blind or braille only users, particularly when dynamic changes are not persistent on the screen or when the new content is not nearby the element with focus. The enhancement in this case could be an optional setting to report dynamic content changes in Braille
Steps to reproduce:
Actual behavior:
The output of the command will be spoken but not presented in Braille. Braille users will have to navigate the screen to find the new content. In situations where the content is not persistent this can constitute a blocker.
Expected behavior:
The output of the command will appear in braille as a flash message.
