Again, my fault here, I should have been even more specific. It's not in
the composition edit box, it's in the reading of a message that has
already been composed where the problem is. Hence why I made the comment
about browse mode. not getting any response from the active braille in
that windo but I am getting feedback in the main tbird window and
dialogues themselves.

Hi Dave,
The thing is, though, that when we're composing, we're not in browse
mode, nor is it even possible to enter it to review our message.
There has to be an answer, though.

I should have clarified. This is in the reading window when using
Thunderbird. I have no idea what the font numbers mean but it doesn't
seem to have had any effect. This is the first time I've noticed
anything like this. You'd think that it would be the same because the
browse mode buffer should be the same across all apps, right?

Hi Vaughan,
Here's a long-shot, but, in Thunderbird's Options, in the
Composition Tab, in the General Sub-Tab, there is a setting for the
font to use. I'm wondering what would be the effect of choosing a
Fixed-width rather than variable-width font? If this doesn't help,
what about tabbing down to Size and choosing something other than
Medium? Finally, what about changing the background colour; okay,
the foreground seems to be white, but I'm not sure what BFFFFFFFF
is; ideally, we want white on black.
Thanks,
Rod

Hi Rod.
In my case, I use the global braille settings across all apps, so
if the problem is in the set file, it won't be a direct braille
problem.
Could it conceivably be in the editor that Thunderbird uses?
Keen to take up your offer of help, so my question above at this
stage is speculative.
Thanks.
Vaughan.

Hi Dave and Vaughan,
I'm not a braille display owner, and so I can't see why your
experience of Thunderbird would be different than using any other
program, unless there is something specific in the set file for
TB. How can I help?
Thanks,
Rod

I am not receiving support for the braille display. When I
launch a new message in Thunderbird. I have Active Braille and
Thunderbird version 24 with Window-Eyes 8.4. The display seems
to work fine in Firefox. Any thoughts?
