Command Prompt: NVDA Outputs Beeps for Caps Lock when Pinging a Hostname/IP Address

Open elliott94 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Tested on Windows 10 1803 X64 with NVDA snapshot alpha-18064,e579eb02

To reproduce:

  1. Ensure that the "Beep if typing lowercase letters when caps lock is on" setting is checked in Preferences/Keyboard

  2. Open a new Command Prompt window, and type the following:

ping 127.0.0.1

  1. Enable the Caps Lock, and hit enter to begin pinging

At this point, you'll notice that even though no characters are physically being typed, NVDA outputs beeps. This would be expected if keys were being typed with the Shift key being held at the same time when Caps Lock is enabled - however, at this point no keys are physically being typed by the user on the keyboard.
