I expected NVDA was the problem, other ideas generalised for elimination of possibilities.

The Windows ease of access tools share a message I have used to determine when Narrator is started. That improves the time to react to Narrator.

Other fixes include improved UI interaction to avoid the inactive title during builds. Inevitably not everything can be threaded out during the build and quite often the system is waiting for something anyway. In those cases the only option is to display the inactive title.

Maybe a popup delay is encountered, 2s, in the IF dialog when raised from the task bar. Now reacts instantly as usual.

The browser views Briefing, Profile, and the others have been improved to allow easier navigation from TAB and Up Down cursor arrow keys.

...got a bit slow going with the html but broken the back of it and also solved some problems and typos.

It's a bit tricky with the browser and kneeboard versions differences. And there's lots of nips and tucks required to get the TAB and cursor control right. Nearly there...

I installed the latest NVDA patch but still see problems in NVDA and certain web pages like Hotmail might crash, or NVDA loads up maybe with too much text and Task Manager shows crazy interrupts. Seems to not respond to commands at the time. Going to another page NVDA still might not respond. After a time NVDA might start operating normally again or I restart it to get going right away. The site warms of possible problems with NVDA on Win10. In general I get on OK with it. When testing IF restart NVDA first. When popping up IF browser windows like the briefing, NVDA seems fine.

I've deleted the old preview comment discussions to de clutter the forum. The forum is overdue for updates so it's handy to reduce unnecessary bulk first.

Thanks for all the efforts.

During the development of Accessibility, the changes to desktop resolution is usually handled correctly but the call to keep sized was left out by mistake. Regular IF looks the same at all times.

I've put that back in so IF looks the same when the Desktop resolution changes. Perhaps when selecting a different screen size in the P3D or FSX menus, or when using tools that zoom the desktop maybe.

On the P3D v4 version Gauge and CPU forms:
When used on another monitor, these will stay on that monitor even when it is deselected for the Desktop. A few things around those desktop resizing processes are being completed now on those new forms.
