Hi everybody, Before transferring to AppStore/PlayStore testing, one more round. This one attempts to make settings behave with VoiceOver and TalkBack. The issue appeared to surface with scrolling, so I reorganized settings so that no scrolling is required. Also tuned the external braille keyboard mode. And then there is: - set hold [threshold-in-ms] command to adjust the time required for a hold, default is 300 ms. This is an experimental feature to see if accidental holds are caused by this. I forgot to add the last one to changelog before the build, but it will be there in the next build. Best regards, Harri
Hi Harri! Thanks for trying to fix the text buffer issues. They are still present. This is especially noticeable when editing / deleting text. Here are steps to reproduce. I tested mainly with my Braille display, using Danish contracted Braille, Liblouis. I know that Braille displays can get very interesting an unexpected behaviour, and I will try to test with an external keyboard later this week. I have translated my commands from the display to propper VoiceOver gestures, so the test can be done without a braille display. 1. Open the text buffer. Note that VoiceOver focus is not directly at the text field. On the Braille display it shows Main Menu button. Note that the control "button" is presented in English even though my phone is set to Danish. Perhaps some leftovers from the issue JPR found a few test releases back, where the accessibility language wasn't working probably? 2. I have to swipe right to get to the text field. 3. I doubletap to get VoiceOver to say: Insertion point at end. 4. I Type: Hello. This is a test. Note after the test. I inserted a space. 5. I now start to delete the word test and is. When the word is gets deleted it reappears on the display again. I wonder what could cause this behaviour. Could it be something about focus moving/not tracking cursor movements probably?

Hi Harri! Just noticed some more about text buffer: If I press tab the text field loses focus completely, and I have to focus it and reactivate it. The dictate button is not shown in Danish, but in English instead. I don't know why. Another thing I found is that if MBraille is active, either in text buffer mode, or just the main menu, VoiceOver cannot get to the status bar using external keyboard or braille display. Is this expected behaviour? You can test this by opening MBraille with an external keyboard connected. Then press either ctrl+alt+m or capslock+m depending on your VoiceOver key of choice.

Hi again Harri! Just wanted to note that the settings screen has some English elements, each button is called button regardless of local of the phone. Perhaps there are stille some code cleanup for accessibility and language detection to do? Best regards Thomas Sendt fra min Macbook Pro via Apple mail
