Thanks for the feedback, Brandon.
The onClick issues have been addressed as much as possible in
Window-Eyes. The outstanding issues are Mozilla issues, and have been
noted in the Mozilla BugZilla database.
I am not able to duplicate your redraw issue on a site with frames, so
it's time to start narrowing things down to figure out where the problem
lies. I would begin by running Firefox with a fresh, default profile.
You can do this by running Firefox from the command line with a -p
(that's dash p) parameter. This will bring up the profile dialog, where
you can create a new profile, and run Firefox with it. That will cause
Firefox to run as if it were first installed, with no add-ons or
customizations. We need to know if the problem continues using this
fresh profile.
If it does not, then there is some add-on or customization that is
causing the Window-Eyes to have problems. If the problem continues to
happen with the fresh profile, then we need to see if there are other
pages with frames that also demonstrate the problem, or if it is
specific to one page.
I'm also not able to duplicate your visited link problem, so it's time
to investigate that further as well. Remove your history, and delete
page cache to see if that makes a difference. Remove or disable add-ons,
or use the fresh profile, to see if that makes a difference.
The number of issues and features that have gone into Window-Eyes 7.0 is
staggering, so it's important that you get as detailed and possible, and
do as much investigative work as possible on your end, so that we can
get your reported problems duplicated, and resolved more quickly.
We had many Firefox 3 reports from both private and public beta testers,
and have resolved all of the ones that we tracked in our own bug
tracking database. So if you have outstanding issues, you need to make
sure they are reported, with as much detail as possible, to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] In addition, assure that you get an acknowledgment
that the problems have been duplicate, and marked down for
investigation. Otherwise, it can easily be overlooked as list chatter,
and we may miss a problem that you find important.
I hope that helps.

I feel it is our duty to be totally honest here, and so I shall. I do
not think WE7.0 is ready for release at this point. Support for Firefox
3, which is a much-advertised feature, is at best, incomplete. The
browse mode issues that I, and several others have reported still exist
in FF3, as do the Onclick issue and screen refresh issues I have reported.
To clarify, Window-eyes now doesn't even report certain things that
really are onclicks as such. This causes problems on certain web sites.
Also, the previously mentioned screen redraw issue, where one must
continuously redraw the screen when browsing sites that use frames. I
have reasons for wishing to continue to use Firefox, and while I
understand the needs of one individual need not be meant if it doesn't
benefit the whole, I am not the only one who has experienced some of
these issues. I only repete all this because my previous reports meant
with no response. There is no indication these issues are being addressed.
On another note, there is a brand new FF3 issue I have discovered.
Certain visited links are appearing as same page links, when in fact
they are not. This is probably the most minor of the issues I have
noticed, but it deserves to be reported. OI am also still having the
reading issue when composing a message in Thunderbird, but I admit that
may be a script problem rather than a Window-eyes one. I hope I haven't
ruffled too many feathers, but I felt my honest opinion should be
stated. Thanks.
