JFW 2022 with Win11 Notepad
Hi. Anyone using Notepad from Win11 (it's the one that works with dark mode) with JFW 2022? I'm noticing a few oddities with this. Firstly when reading using the arrow keys when I hit the bottom line of the document it seems to read out the prior line if that is blank. My files usually end with a blank line so I get this quite a bit. When using alt+letter to get into a menu it doesn't always seem to take. For example I quite often do alt+F then S to save the document even though that is not the quickest shortcut. I am finding the document doesn't always save then when I quit out so have to be careful. I get the same behaviour when doing searches using alt+E and F, my search term then types into the main text. Thanks. Andrew.
Hi, I'm not quite getting that behaviour, but if the last line is blank, JAWS won't let you move to it, it reads out the last populated line.

Hi, It's a store app, so you should be able to just uninstall it which then takes you back to old Notepad. Terrible that they've manage to break the most simple of text editors though. Cheers, Ben. On 4/13/22, Steve Nutt <steve@comproom.co.uk> wrote:
