Now here is a strange thing. I went on the site with xp and the latest next snap and firefox 28, and did a search and spent some minutes reading the list with no slow down at all. Javascript is on. the machine is just a boring single core 2.6gig pentium 4.
I'd expect this issue to be worse on a slower machine, or is this a problem in Windows 7?

I can't reproduce this in either Firefox or IE. I made a purchase on Ebay just a few days ago (including quite a bit of searching) with no problems. I just tested searching on ebay.co.uk and have no performance problems at all.

What speech synthesiser and language are you using? If not eSpeak, can you please try with eSpeak and report? It seems unlikely, but synths can actually cause problems when they encounter certain strings.

It's very strange. I was forced to reinstall windows last night - and after reinstalling everything, it works fine. Can't possibly think what would've been causing it, as I had all add-ons disabled.

I was using eSpeak.

Now that the responsiveness has cleared up - the only thing that's not working is the visual editor on the sell page. Any ideas?

Changed title from "NVDA Unresponsive on eBay" to "Issues with NVDA on eBay"

Can you be more specific about what is happening? If it's an editor which allows you to put links, etc. in the text, the links, etc. aren't reading and you're using Firefox, this is probably due to NVDA's lack of proper support for Mozilla rich text editing (see #1668).

I'm using the visual editor, with firefox. I've found that when typing directly into the editor or pasting from an application such as wordpad or notepad, NVDA has no problem interacting with the contents of the editor - I.E, text reads fine, and I can format the text as normal using the editor controls.
If however you paste from word, NVDA can't read the contents of the editor. After pasting from word, clicking on the 'html' tab shows that there is some word-specific markup. Could this be causing the problem?

I suspect it's being wrapped in a paragraph or similar, which might cause problems until #1668 is implemented.

#1668 has already been implemented and the issues pertaining to unresponsiveness have been resolved as reported in #4063 (comment). Time to close? @ehollig

Closing because of the implantation of #1668 and the issues pertaining to unresponsiveness have been resolved as reported in #4063 (comment). Closing
