Hello Jamal. I cannot confirm this on XP. I must admit I was in Vista
when the problem was noticed. Below is what I did in XP.
I just turned off scripting and went into the select synthesizer dialog
box. I pressed the letter d twice to get to the second DECtalk
synthesizer. I waited for the speech to stop. I pressed D again and it
read the third DECtalk synthesizer. So, in order I heard the Window-Eyes
DECtalk, then the stand-alone DECtalk, then the DECtalk Express, and
lastly the DECtalk USB. So, no matter if I stopped to let the speech
finish or if I interrupted, pressing the D key always took me in the
right order. As I said, I'll try this with Vista later and report my
findings.

Thanks for reporting this, Raul. I confirmed the problem, but upon
investigation, think it is a Window-Eyes rather than script issue. The
script does not customize navigation within the listbox -- it just
monitors the change in selected item event and updates the Details edit
box with corresponding information.
More importantly, however, I tried with a Window-Eyes listbox and got the
same behavior. Specifically, I tried with a list of files in Package
Manager. If three start with the same letter, and you are on the second
of them, pressing the letter, after speech has stopped, goes to the first
rather than the third one. I got the same result with scripting turned
off.

Subject: Odd behavior with navigating install packages
Hello Jamal. The following is an oddity we've discovered in navigating the
list of install packages. It's a bit tricky to explain so I'll do my best.
It seems that if you press a letter to navigate to scripts beginning with
that letter, and you keep pressing the letter, things work as they should.
However if you press the letter let us say on the second script of that
letter and let us say there are 3 or more of them. If you wait for speech
to stop and another second or two, then you press the same letter again,
instead of moving forward in the list to the next one by that same letter,
install packages moves to the first one of the list of that letter. Below
is an example.
Press l once, it reads the first one, for me it's . learn scripting.
Press it again
immediately and the next one is read, for me it's loaded scripts. Keep
doing this and interrupting it and you will find the next one is selected
each time. OK, good so far so good. You can do this until you are blue in
the ... face and it will rotor back to the first one and so on and so
forth.
For the bug.
Now, press l until you hear the second or third one, preferably the second
one to prove my point. Wait a few seconds when it's done speaking. Now
press l one last time. Rather than continuing forward to the third one, it
goes to the first one in the l list. So what I suspect is happening is
that pressing the letter for what the script considers the first time,
meaning after a pause, it goes to the first one of that group of scripts
which begin with that letter. Definitely not as normal list boxes behave.
Many thanks.
