Another example is www.bianet.org |
Comment 3 by jteh on 2011-08-22 22:34 @Surveyor: The web site you provided always loads the top part of the page but then takes a short time (at least a second) to load the bottom part, even when you use the back command in the browser. Thus, when the document loads, NVDA can't find the last remembered position because it isn't there yet. I'm not sure if we can do anything about this. Anyway, I suspect it's a separate issue, since the page does update, whereas apparently browse mode stays on the previous page with orkut.com. If you want this investigated further, please file another ticket. |

OK, interestingly, I have just discovered that if you browse a community without being logged in with an Orkut account, NVDA behaves correctly, e.g, it comes back to the position you left off. You can create an Orkut account using either any GMail address or any address you use for a Google service. See for example this community forum (it's in Brazilian Portuguese): Press t for the table, then k to the first link and enter it, then wait the page loads and press h til the last heading, then alt-left arrow to get back to the forum. If you do it as an anonymous user, NVDA respects the position you were, but if you do it logged in, it does not. |

The link that the author of this ticket provided is no longer available. I have experienced NVDA not remembering the exact location of where you were on the page with browse mode after hitting the back button, but do not have a good STR right now. |
Sounds like a bug in javascript coding. If the site is gone, closing as invalid. |

To reproduce this, go to any comunity in the Orkut.com social network, then to the comunity forum, where you will get a table containing the forum topics. Enter a topic, then jump a bit around using for example the h key for jumping between the topic messages, then press alt-left arrow for getting back to the forum main page. Instead of being placed at the topic link you just entered, the browse mode remains in the same position you were in the topic you have just left, as if you haven't even changed the page.
It's worth noting that orkut.com maintains two layouts, one classing/older and another newer. I like using the older one, which offers more heading navigation, however I'm almost sure the problem occurs in both the layouts.
I cannot precise now what NVDA version it started happening from, but it certainly didn't happen in 2011.1 and happens in 2011.2.
I'm using Internet Explorer 8, don't know how other browsers behave.
