Known Issues


"Clickable Clickable Clickable …"
Please note that NVDA has a well known issue or bug:
Sometimes you might hear a lot of repeated speech “Clickable Clickable Clickable …”, very annoying:
This is by design of NVDA. So good solution so far.
You can turned of by pressing NVDA+n/Preferences/Settings/Document Formattting/Uncheck “Clickable”.

Unexpected keyboard focus of inactive tab in a tablist

https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/8906
Press Insert+Space to switch to browse mode, and then press d or shift+d to move to a land mark (this will leave the tab list), and then press tab to return to the tab list. NVDA can’t remember the previous focused tab (e.g. tab 3). Instead NVDA always default to tab 1.
In our page we have set a land mark role=”main” on heading “Application Process” which can be reached by pressing d or shift+d.

Chrome Vox’s Bug

Using NVDA: both Title and Description are read.
Chrome Vox: Only Title is read.
Cause:
Obviously it’s a Chrome Vox’s Bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=492253
Now I have fixed using a workaround. But from this page I got an important info:
This was marked as won't fix because ChromeVox the extension is no longer under active development. On Mac, you can use VoiceOver with Chrome. You can also use ChromeVox on Chrome OS (which is actively supported).
I installed Chrome Vox as an extension to Chrome, but this extension is no longer developed (bug is no longer fixed!).

Use GnuPG Tools or C# Code for PGP Encryption and Signature

For PGP encryption and signature, usually we use PGP command line tools for test purpose and finally use C# application for production. Mine is a Net Core 2.0 console application using NuGet package PgpCore,  https://github.com/mattosaurus/PgpCore. PgpCore is based on BouncyCastle.NetCore which supports the standard OpenPGP keys. Here w use the popular GnuPG (GPG) tools to generate OpenPGP key pair. Download and Install GPG for Windows Download from  https://gpg4win.org/download.html . By default the installation will create two folders (here we use command line tools only): Gpg4Win UI (Kleopatra): C:\Program Files (x86)\Gpg4win Command line tools: C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin Generate a GPG Key Pair For GnuPG 2.2.1 and above:     C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin> gpg --full-generate-key For old versions of GnuPG:     C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuPG\bin> gpg --gen-key Common GPG Commands List public keys: gpg --lis...
