Braille displa not functioning correctly
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No
- VS Code Version:
- OS Version:
Steps to Reproduce:
In recent versions of VSCode, I've noticed that the first part of a braille line is occupied by the title of the file I'm editing. This didn't use to be the case, and I'm wondering whether there has been changes to the UI which have made this start happening. The fault is sporadic, in that when using the arrow keys to scroll down, the title of the tab will disappear from the Braille display, then suddenly reappear. This happens with any file type, and as I use Braille output for most of what I do, it has becoming an annoyance. 1.Can this be fixed. 2.If I need to change the view in some way, I'd like to know how. THanks for any assistance/suggestions with regard to this problem.
Hi, what version are you using? Are you in screen reader optimized mode?
Hi, As to version, I'm using windows X64 with the latest version of VSCode. I'm not downloading daily builds, but have the latest that was auto updated. I've tried this with JAWS and NVDA, and the results are the same. How do I change the parameter you named in your email. Happy to give it a try.
Go to settings with ctrl or command + ,. Type accessibility.windowTitleOptimized, tab to that setting. Uncheck it.
OK,
Tried that, and it came up with two settings, but none related to accessibility.windowTitleOptimized.
I tried changing the windoTitle setting to none, but to no effect.
Not to be beaten, I have also Googled this, with no success.
Thanks,
David.

That suggests that you are not on the Insiders build. Could you please get your version info via the Code or Code Insiders Menu and About Code or About Code Insiders menu?
I’ve now installed the latest version of Insiders, and the problem persists. You’re right, the setting is now there, but makes no difference despite changing the status of the checkbox.
Symptoms:
Speech works fine, and it’s only Braille that does this. I’d expect to see the beginning of the braille line of code to the left end of the display, instead, I get Filename.php editor followed by the code.
Thanks,
David.

Hi,
Afraid not. No immediate effect, so tried restarting with no result.
Thanks,
David.

To help us narrow down what change caused the issue, please run the following command to find the build. It will start previous releases of VS Code insiders to see where the regression was introduced:
npx --yes vscode-bisect@latest- follow the instructions until you found the offending build
- report back the commit range in this issue
Thanks!
Hi,
Sorry not to have got back sooner, but in the interim, there was an update to my screen reading software which has fixed this problem. Having said that, I’d like to thank you for providing such an accessible code editor, which I use nearly every day, and recommend for blind students just as often.
Best wishes.
