Skype 8.88, date no longer read in messages list


Michele Barbi
 

Hi there, using Skype 8.88, JAWS 2022 latest build, and scripts revision 2022. When scrolling a messages list in a chat window in split view mode, it no longer reads the dates, it only says "leaving". Did any other user notice this issue?

Doug, is there anything you can do via scripting for it?

Bye!

I noticed it yesterday and wrote it down for addressing. Thanks for confirming when it started. :)

There is now a fix at https://www.dlee.org/updates/jfw_skype.exe that I have not yet formally released.

Wow, your fix with revision 224 is working! Yay! Thanks a lot!

Only thing is, Google Chrome and also SmartScreen complained about the file, I just clicked run anyway and it updated the scripts correctly.

Bye!

Hello,

I just update to this last version of the scripts but I still have the same issue with it, as before.
I've seen that after typing a message in Skype's chat, that text can't be
read using left/right arrows.
JAWS doesn't speak anything when pressing the left or right arrows.
If I press the backspace key, JAWS speaks "T" each time, but not the current
letter.
But the text is there and I can select it and deleted if I want to do that.
However I can't review and eventually correct it there.

I use JAWS 2022.2207. And, probably more important, Windows 11.
Is this working for you, or there is something that needs to be done in
order to be able to read the written text?

My Left and Right arrows work in Skype 8.8.0 and previous versions, and in script revision 224 and previous
revisions.

I also use JAWS 2022 but Windows 10; I do not have a Windows 11 environment set up here. I suspect you're
right that the Windows version is the key factor.

I don't have skype on this machine, well, I do but am not signed in so
cannot test at this point. Let's gather more data points. Anyone else having
this issue, please list yore windows version and build number.

Guys I did not upgrade my system to Windows 11, as my pc is not compatible, and because of doubts concerning the compatibility of RadioBoss which I normally use for my weekend program. Anyway, I did not test the left/right arrows, but possibly it's while typing. What I meant is the dates sections while reading chat messages lists, which I do using the Skype command key followed by h.

Hi Sarah,

The languages of Windows, JAWS and Skype are all English, so this should not be a problem.

As Doug said, probably Windows 11 is the cause.
