Hello @fernando-jose-silva

I have proposed a pull-request (#11977) that should fix this issue. Could you confirm that your issue disappear with this test build
Thanks.

[fernando-jose-silva]

Thank you very much, the test compilation works correctly.

[ruifontes]

Helo!
This fix, I think, have broken other parts...
Go to https://www.fnac.pt/SearchResult/ResultList.aspx?SCat=0%211&Search=band&sft=1&sa=0
In the first line NVDA should read:Botão Áreas
and read:
Botão Á reas

Hi @ruifontes
I cannot reproduce this issue on my side with eSpeak or IBMTTS.
Please open a new issue (bug template) and fill in all the requested paragraphs. Especially the following information would be useful: detailed steps to reproduce, specific configuration, synthesizer used (try with various synth please), log in debug mode, various NVDA versions tested (beta2 / 2020.4) and the corresponding result, test without add-ons, etc.
If it appears to be a regression of 2021.1beta, please indicate it clearly and Cc NVAccess people (@feerrenrut)
Since you think the issue is related to the current issue, also indicate it with a ref to the current issue or, better, to the corresponding pull-request.
Thanks.

Hello!
In NVDA 2020.4 the log shows:
IO - speech.speak (01:05:41.034) - MainThread (7052):
Speaking [CallbackCommand(name=say-all:lineReached), 'clicável', 'Banner Secção', 'botão', 'Áreas', CallbackCommand(name=say-all:lineReached)]
DEBUG - speech.manager.SpeechManager.speak (01:05:41.034) - MainThread (7052):
SpeechManager- speak (priority <SpeechPriority.NORMAL: 0>): [CallbackCommand(name=say-all:lineReached), 'clicável  ', 'Banner Secção  ', 'botão  ', 'Áreas  ', CallbackCommand(name=say-all:lineReached)]
DEBUG - speech.manager.SpeechManager._queueSpeechSequence (01:05:41.035) - MainThread (7052):
SpeechManager- Out Seq: [[IndexCommand(7)], ['clicável  ', 'Banner Secção  ', 'botão  ', 'Áreas  ', IndexCommand(8)], [EndUtteranceCommand()]]
DEBUG - speech.manager.SpeechManager._queueSpeechSequence (01:05:41.035) - MainThread (7052):

In NVDA 2021.1 Beta1 the log shows:
IO - speech.speech.speak (23:48:47.779) - MainThread (13444):
Speaking ['botão', 'Á', 'reas']
DEBUG - speech.manager.SpeechManager.speak (23:48:47.780) - MainThread (13444):
SpeechManager- speak (priority <SpeechPriority.NORMAL: 0>): ['botão  ', 'Á  ', 'reas  ']
DEBUG - speech.manager.SpeechManager._queueSpeechSequence (23:48:47.781) - MainThread (13444):
SpeechManager- Out Seq: [['botão  ', 'Á  ', 'reas  ', IndexCommand(24)], [EndUtteranceCommand()]]

So, the major difference is:
2020.4 -> SpeechManager- Out Seq: [[IndexCommand(7)], ['clicável  ', 'Banner Secção  ', 'botão  ', 'Áreas  ', IndexCommand(8)], [EndUtteranceCommand()]]
2021.1 Beta1 -> SpeechManager- Out Seq: [['botão  ', 'Á  ', 'reas  ', IndexCommand(24)], [EndUtteranceCommand()]]

Still necessary to create an issue?

[CyrilleB79]

Yes open a new issue with all the information required by the template and also in my previous message.
For now, I am not able to reproduce.

@ruifontes could you indicate if you are still experimenting the issue you were describing?

• If yes, please open a new issue as soon as possible with the detailed description. This would allow to avoid having a regression in the final release of NVDA 2021.1
• If not please also indicate it here so that to clarify this. Also if an add-on or a specific configuration was responsible for the issue, please indicate it.
  Thanks a lot.
