NVDA should take one back to the previous position on a page such as a link #132
Comments
Comment 1 by jteh on 2008-07-09 01:20 I have seen sites where this does not work properly. Please note that NVDA does not remember previous pages at all. It relies on the browser to correctly position the focus on the link followed to reach the next page. If this focus is not set properly for some reason, this will break. This seems to happen with Trac. I suspect Trac may be using some javascript to focus elsewhere or perhaps it is a browser bug. However, it certainly behaves correctly in the Google example for me. |

Interesting, I just did a google search for shark. I followed a link to a wikipedia article, and when I went back it took me to the top and not the link I was on. I am refering to firefox3 and am using r2204. This happens for me consistantly on all pages. |

Just tested with both java and java script disabled, still the same results on all pages. Did another google search and still the same results. Using R 2206 source version and firefox3. |

It doesn't work for me there either. However, does it work for you on other sites; e.g. the Google example I provided above? |
Comment 7 by Big.D on 2008-08-11 23:56 I did a google search for ESpeak varients and went to the second search result, then pressed backspace. Both with screen layout on and off, it didn't work. Thanks. |
Comment 8 by jteh on 2008-08-26 04:16 I couldn't find a bug report indicating that this is a fixed regression in 3.0.2, but this does seem to be the case. Marco, are you aware of any such bug? |

Jamey, Just tested with webvisum enabled and disabled with the same results. When I press alt left arrow it goes back to the previous page and NVDA starts reading from the top of the page. Pressing control on it results at me being near the top where nvda stops reading, it doesn't go right back to the previous position. Seems like when I go back it should just go to the previous position, IE a link etc. Again, I tried it with webvisum enabled, then disabled it and got the same results. Also tried disableing javascript awhile back with the same results. |

I just tried the pre release nightly beta of firefox 3.1, and the issue seems to be fixed in that version. However, it's broken in 3.0.3 which is the current stable version and the one I'm using, don't know if we can get it into this version somehow. I hope this helps. |
Comment 16 by jteh on 2009-06-29 09:20 Unfortunately, this breaks auto focus mode when focus is automatically set by the page when loaded; e.g. Google. Hopefully, the lessFreezing branch will fix this, as the virtual buffer gainFocus event is normally delayed until after the page sets the focus. |
Comment 17 by jteh on 2009-08-28 05:39 This feature is still probably important, but we need more time to test it and get feedback. |

Comment 23 by jteh on 2011-01-12 07:56 We now only do this for http, https, ftp, ftps and file URLs to stop it remembering positions in email clients, etc. This is only meant to work for web browsers where the browser does actually remember the scroll position but unfortunately doesn't communicate that to ATs. |

Currently, NVDA does not remember the place someone leaves off at when going back to the previous page. Steps to reproduce:
Expected results: NVDA should go back to the link the person was at when they activated it.
Actual results: NVDA goes back to the top of the page and looses place of where the person was at on the previous page. I see this only being applicable to links as one does not usually go back to previous text IE headings or paragraphs.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
