Cursor routing from a braille display not working in PowerPoint #9101
Comments
Probably because (in appModules\powerpnt.py):
I wonder if UIA could be of use here. |
I can confirm this issue with Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 (32-Bit) and NVDA 2018.1 on win7x64 with a connected Optelec ALVA BC680 via USB2 (try-build ALVA driver). btw: It's the same with pressing F2 on a text field, which I prefer. |
I was able to successfully move within such a text range when enforcing UIA in Office 2016. |

This Issue still occurs also with Freedom Scientific Focus 40 and Focus 14 and Office 2016. |
I can confirm this issue still persists wit Office 365. I'm using a Mantis q40 and a Handy Tech Easy Braille, the issue occurs on both devices. |
#17004) Closes #9101 Summary of the issue: The routing keys on a braille display do not work to move the text insertion point in Microsoft PowerPoint. Description of user facing changes The routing keys now move the cursor in PowerPoint. The review cursor selection commands also select text in text boxes. Description of development approach Looked at TextFrameTextInfo to look at how access to PowerPoint text works. Used the Microsoft Powerpoint Object Model documentation to find the appropriate methods. Implemented `_setCaretOffset` and `_setSelectionOffsets` methods on `appModules.powerpnt.TextFrameTextInfo`. --- Co-authored-by: Sean Budd <[email protected]>
