In fact, it was reported as a regression by some users from Turkish community. I've tested with firefox 18 and varified. While I can read text under the mouse by paragraph With NVDA 2012.1, I can't do that with last snapshots. |

Comment 4 by jteh on 2013-01-22 00:26 This apparent reading by paragraph was actually a bug which was reading entire text nodes. Firefox changed something in Firefox 15 which caused this. If you try NVDA 2012.2.1 with Firefox 14, you'll see the same behaviour. While it looks like a good thing, it causes other problems such as inability to read just by line and incorrect reading of dialogs. Firefox doesn't actually support retrieving of text by paragraphs. |
Comment 5 by falinn.onda on 2013-02-10 16:01 Please note that this issue doesn't simply mean that we cannot use paragraph resolution, since even if we set to line/word resolution only the first line is read while the mouse is pointing at the paragraph and the next lines cannot be read using mouse(as far as i know). This means that mouse tracking feature is not very useful in Firefox which is a shame as it was working very well with the bug you mentioned. Several ideas:
Thanks |

I just tested and I can definitely read subsequent lines with the mouse. If you can't, please provide a URL you have tested and steps to reproduce the problem, including a snippet of the text over which you moved the mouse. |

Comment 10 by falinn.onda on 2013-02-11 19:10 I tried running FF on the first win 7 computer in safe mode disabling the addons and still i was not able to read lines as i explained. As a third try, i ran on win 7 virtual machine with new clean installation of FF 18.0.2 and NVDA portable 2012.3.1 and i got the same behavior as on the first computer i.e. cannot read following lines. BTW. i'm not sure i understand what you mean by "nightly (21pre)" |

I'm testing on Win 7.
I'm running a pre-alpha nightly build of Firefox, which will eventually become Firefox 21. |
Comment 12 by falinn.onda on 2013-02-28 14:11 If possible in future releases of firefox, it would be great if the paragraph option will work by paragraph. Still there are issues with links that have multiple lines. For example go to ebay.com using firefox and search for "sheep". enlarge the page so that the links would be broken into two lines. now when you put the mouse over the result link the first line is read but even when moving the mouse over the remaining lines, they are not read. Thanks for your help... |
Facing the similar bug for anchor tags which have large text so that it breaks into separate lines. It only reads the first line on mouse hover and ignore the others. Tested on stackoverflow.com/ for questions which wrap to second line. Configuration:
Are there any workaround? |
Another similar example:
Using Firefox (Version 60.0.2), when moving the mouse over the button, only "jumps over the lazy dog" is read. |
@feerrenrut: Note that NVDA reads on the object level. The button is a separate object, so IMO it is sort of expected that it does only read the contents of the button. |
Firefox now supports the paragraph unit as of Firefox 82 (currently in beta): https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1520779 So, if text wraps across two lines, mouse tracking by paragraph (and braille read by paragraph) will now behave as expected. For example, this wraps across two or more lines and gets read as one paragraph: Note, however, that |
I think this means we can close this issue. Please let me know if I missed something. |

Even if text resolution under mouse settings was set as paragraph, text under the mouse can only be read line by line..
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
