Hi, resolved via Windows App Essentials add-on – this issue is caused by the fact that emoji search field gets focused when emoji panel opens, with NVDA using the arrow keys for character navigation purposes instead of passing it onto the emoji panel. Thanks.

[fernando-jose-silva]

according to my tests, if the add-on
NVDAExtensionGlobalPlugin-
is installed nvda continues to speak in white.
which is a shame, I really like this add-on.

Another question, if the option to
Auto focus mode when focus changes
is unchecked, when walking with the arrow below in the list of emogis, nvda is announcing windows input experience for several times, making the use of this window unfeasible.
For this second point, if a solution were possible, it would be very interesting.

Hi, just to make sure: what happens if you enable Windows App Essentials add-on? If that solves the problem, then it gives me a good reason to write a pull request this week. Thanks.

[fernando-jose-silva]

if I enable the add-on
Windows App Essentials;
everything works though:
even with the complement
Windows App Essentials;
installed, if the add-on
NVDAExtensionGlobalPlugin-
is installed will not work, the blank ad continues.
it is also necessary that the option
Auto focus mode when focus changes
is checked.
if it is unchecked, an ad of windows input experience is constantly informed when walking with the arrow below, making the use of the window unfeasible.
in short, currently for everything to work it is necessary
install the addon
Windows App Essentials;
uninstall the addon
NVDAExtensionGlobalPlugin-
check the option
Auto focus mode when focus changes

Cc @paulber19 for information regarding the "NVDAExtensionGlobalPlugin:" add-on. Maybe a patched function that is not up-to-date in the add-on.

Hi,

The resulting PR is trivial and not so trivial:

• Trivial: only involes overlay class demotion (reomving editable text scripts)
• Nont so trivial: Im sure there is a much better strategy than removing an overlay class

Rest assured that a resolution is in the works.

[alireza1385mamani]

thanks for youre good sujestion. it really worked.
even the problem of switching languages is fixed.

[alireza1385mamani]

This issue hasen't been fixed yet.
we have to use windos app esencials addon to fix that. and now I'm using the rc 2021.3 of nvda.

[josephsl]

Hi, a fix was submitted for inclusion in the next version of NVDA (2022.1) as it was too late for 2021.3. Thanks.
