Yep, experiencing it with Win7 64bit pro. Even happens rather often, and
is no less than anoying, agree with you there. It even says "task
switching" followed by the window name, when it Alt-tabs throuth the
list of open windows, and it is not stuck on the Task Switching. Other
times, it gets stuck, and all you hear when alt-tabbing is
"TaskSwitching" and nothing else. Definitely needs a fix.

Hi. For some time now, I have noticed that Window-Eyes has this
annoying habit of not pronouncing the current window when I open up an
application. For example, if I press the Windows key plus r to open
the run dialog box, the box opens but Window-Eyes doesn't speak the
title. I couldn't figure out why this was going on and never thought
to push the Windows title hotkey (control shift T.) It was only then
that I discovered that the title of the window was listed as "task
switching." This is an extreme annoyance which had been brought up on
the list before but I don't know if there have been any resolutions to
the problem. So, in this case, Window-Eyes is getting stuck on this
"task switching" window. The only way I've found to get out of it is
to press some other key like the tab key. However, it seems to also
render the mouse cursor useless. This is especially evident when
opening the properties of a file or folder, realizing that you are
stuck in the purgatory of "task switching," pressing tab (which would
have your cursor on a checkbox which Window-Eyes would not speak),
going to the top left of the window with your mouse cursor and trying
to read down which yields nothing. This behavior is intermittent,
sometimes WE is fine and switches windows and reads them fine. other
times, it gets stuck. This "task switching" thing of course always
comes up when you alt tab. Again, this was brought up earlier on the
list, but I'm not sure of a resolution. I searched the archives and
couldn't seem to find anything. Perhaps I missed something? So, it
looks like if I alt tab from one window to another, Window--Eyes will
read the windows around it but not speak the text of the current one.
This does not have to do with any apps that I have installed because
they're currently off. Is anybody else experienced this rather irksome
behavior? If so, some enlightenment would be much appreciated. Thanks,
Dave
