List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi Janina, the numeric keypad selection you mention did work on that old version of the install program, but strangely, when I use any of the numbers, on the correct install, it just moves around by lines. insert plus did not do what it was supposed to do. My sighted assistance did confirm that the keyboard selection is indeed "speakup". ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" To: Sent: Saturday, December 21, 2002 11:53 AM Subject: Re: correct keyboard selection. It's a bug in one of the newer text rendering libraries. It has been reported. Meanwhile, until its fixed, just be aware that you seem to be on the selection following the actual one. As I just explained in another message, you can verify this with NumericKeypad Insert+Period which provides color attribute4s, such as "white on black." If you look around the screen and check with this, you'll find confirmation for what's actually highlighted, and you'll find that it really is the selection just before the one that Speakup is indicating.
