NVDA reads text in a standard WPF text box incorrectly
Reported by ianr on 2011-03-10 16:42 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a GUI framework released by Microsoft a few years ago. I've noticed that in it's standard TextBox control NVDA reads some things incorrectly. Specifically if I have a multiline textbox and I have text on line 1, an empty line 2, and text on line 3. When I reach line 2 NVDA will read the contents of line 3, when I reach line 3 it will also read the contents of line 3. This makes you think that some lines are duplicated when they are actually not. In braille the second line has 2 extra characters at the front before the contents of line 3. The first is a space, the second is dots 7 and 8 raised.
I am attaching a test application written in WPF that contains a multiline textbox so you can add your own text and see the results yourself.
The application requires .NET 4 client profile to be installed on your machine.
