Skype saying "file sent"
That makes sense; in split view, these announcements, even the right ones, are not likely to happen as Skype is currently written.

Skype saying "file sent"
The "File sent" issue has been reported to Microsoft, by me and surely several others. It is a bug in Skype itself and occurs with or without scripts, and probably also in NVDA though I did not verify

skype 8 split view
The "message sent" notification is sent to a list control in the main Skype window. In normal view, that is in focus; so JAWS speaks it. I'm betting that JAWS ignores it in split view because it is us

Early report on Skype 8.51's Split View and the Skype8 JAWS scripts
In the line Index=skypeelectron, there needs to be no spaces. "skypeelectron" is written as one word. That will probably make things work as intended.

Skype 8.51, split view and JAWS scripts
Aha! I had not looked in the right place since upgrading, largely because I was told the feature was not in my build lol. In any case, just one scant minute ago, I got Split View activated over here.
