Reported by Shaimaa on 2013-05-07 21:36 Hi, While using Powerpoint slideshow, NVDA doesn't update content when i navigate to other slides using the go to slide feature in the context menu. Steps to reproduce:

  1. open a Powerpoint file that should have more than 1 slide.
  2. press f5 to go to slideshow view.
  3. you can press space to navigate the slides.
  4. Press the application key.
  5. navigate to go to slide submenu.
  6. try to choose any of the slides previously shown or any other slide but not the current one.
  7. hit the enter key to go to the selected slide. results: the content is not updated to match the new selected slide. Note that this problem is in office 2007 and 2010.

Confirmed for PowerPoint 2016. Revised STR for this version:

  1. Open a Powerpoint file that should have more than 1 slide.
  2. Press f5 to go to slideshow view.
  3. You can press space to navigate the slides.
  4. Press the application key.
  5. Navigate to previous and press enter

@MichaelDCurran, I assume the solution to this is similar to #2907 in that we need to listen for PowerPoint COM events?

This is a friendly reminder for @michaelDCurran to kindly respond to @jcsteh's https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/3206#issuecomment-313257155 by sharing his thoughts on whether or not the solution to this ticket is similar to #2907 in that we need to listen for PowerPoint COM events.

This is still reproducible in Powerpoint 2016 with NVDA 2018.4 Beta 4 on Windows 10 1809 Update. Unfortunately there were no updates on this issue.

Still reproducible in Powerpoint 365 with NVDA 2024.4 Beta. Interestingly, using object navigation I am able to check that the slide has changed, but even when I switch the window back and forth with alt+tab NVDA reports the old content which is not on the screen anymore.
