Hello, I am still using mavericks on my macbook air 2012 (4gb ram) and have the following questions : 1. When I do 2 fingers down on my trackpad to read the text from the cursor to the bottom, the cursor is jumping every time to the beginning of the document and starts reading from there. This bug appear in different editors: textedit, pages missus writer pro…
2. moving around in rtf text in textedit, pages and nidus writer pro with quicknav off is not working consistently. I can’t move lines down up without the cursor that is jumping away without reason. This problem is gone when I convert the text to plain text. In my opinion , selecting text is one of the basic tasks on a computer but not every time simple on osx. On a macbook air, I do command+shift+down-arrow to select text from the cursor to the end of the file, is this correct? Possible problems: - the selection proces should be stopped because of some (hidden) escape characters in the text. If this is the case, it seems strange to me for a screenreader that is more then 5 years old; - the selection proces should be stopped because some bars on the screen that are part of the editor that is used: That I can understand since this is also the case on ms word with windows an a screenreader like jaws. - or perhaps because of the quicknav that’s on: in my opinion with quicknav on , this should also work to select text when the rotor is e.g. in line-mode; Since 10.6, the introduction of quicknav , this was/is a great feature but still has the same bugs as 10.6. E.g. When moving with quicknav on in pages , I am switching between the main text area and the feedtekst/toptekst area (if this is the right word in English) 3. evolutions of braille: Since the introduction of braille in 10.5, only a few features have been added: more braille tables and the possibility to set off the quick messages. Perhaps some other improvements but they are little I think. What is still missing after 6 years of evolution from 10.5 to 10.9: - no option for word wrapping, - no different modes line, structured, speech (like in jaws). This should be useful while working without speech (while following courses). With the braille only, it’s not always clear if you have to interact, press a button , can copy text … if speech is disabled. - No option for unlimited or 8 pixels for a space: useful to hide more than one space and so more information on the braille display. - underlining of text when the text is in the vo-cursor gives no advantage at all I tink. So, the dots 7 and 8 are not free to mark styles of the text or if the text is selected or not. I hope but I don’t think so that most of this problems are solved in 10.10. I red something about quicknav in safari, and this is good but I haven;t heard anything about braille. Any comments are very welcome.
