In Microsoft Word, when you want to delete a selection, NVDA does not announce "Selected deleted" as he does in WordPad or Notepad in Windows and NVDA does not announce the text that has followed the previously selected the word "Unchecked", when you move the focus.

Considering Changing script_delete and backspace to be more smart as they are aware they are deleting if the selection changes in anyway.

Some technical info:

  1. winword NVDAObject is an EditableTextWithoutAutoSelectDetection, and it can not use auto select detection as caret events are a little bit flaky... we sometimes get them, we sometimes don't.
  2. script_caret_delete in this case would need to manually call speakSelectionChange passing it TextInfos from the caret before and after sending the key press.
  3. It has been found that Microsoft Word range objects mutate when text is inserted/deleted in a document (e.g. a document with the text "Hello world" and you have a range containing the "wo" in world and you then go and delete the "wo" the range will now be collapsed at the r of world, rather than expanded to "rl").

Because of all this, it would be rather hard to support this feature without rewriting the MS Word TextInfo to only use offsets and keep moving a temporary range object each time it needed to find something out.
Probably not something we should do for this release.
