I've not experienced the blank lines or nvda enter thing on chrome myself, not on this site.
I wonder if it's something in your browser settings, eg, if you've still got screen layout off.

@ogomez92 Oo, thanks! Much appreciated, exactly what I was looking for. Just out of curiosity though, where did you find that out?
@dark I'm not sure, I've always browsed with the screen layout option off, but if it's not happening on your end that means either there's something for me to change on my end, or something's broken.
@masterChief I haven't been having that issue so far, not sure what to tell you though as I only made the switch yesterday.
Thanks all for the replies.

Hi,
So after getting a new desktop machine, I decided to give Chrome a shot too to see what the hype's all about and I must say, I like the speed thus far, but considering that I've used firefox for about 10 years, I'm still getting used to some of the basic functionality. So I have 2 questions about some small issues I'm experiencing.
Firstly, whenever I open Chrome, I get a window that simply reads "untitled window". For as long as this is open, I can't load any pages. I have set it to use google as my homepage and it loads eventually, but is there a way to get rid of this weird untitled thing? I know it's not my internet as I'm fairly sure it shouldn't take more than a minute to load a basic webpage.
Secondly, I also tried downloading a few things and every time after I selected to save the file, I get the page I'm on in a window that I cannot interact with, with my screen reader. I found that pressing a lot of random keys, including tab about a million times, eventually fixes it, but it takes me to a random part in the page. Is anyone else also having this and is there a solution?

Hmmm, I can't say I know what you are referring to in either case, I think a new tab will show as untitled, but it shouldn't stop you navigating. You can close tabs with control W. Chrome downloads automatically, you don't have to say run or save like in firefox, so I'm not sure what you mean there. You can use control shift T to undo a close tab, it will pull up recents.

With downloads, I have set chrome to ask before saving as well since I prefer that, it was a function which Microsoft Killed in Ie 9 and above I think in favour of using the status bar and I've missed it.

I think there is an issue in Nvda at the moment that it does not report the chrome status bar for downloading so it looks as if you can't interact with the page, however there are a few different workarounds I've found.
Firstly, have a couple of different windows open and switch to another, or just hit ctrl n and switch. I believe this also works with tabs but generally I prefer multiple windows to tabs indeed I do sometimes wish I could turn off Tabbed browsing in chrome since I sometimes end up with extra tabs open by mistake).

You can also try refreshing the page since that won't interfere with your download, just remember to go to downloads and clear your download history occasionally.

The one thing I do find a little annoying in Chrome is the fact that when i go to my bookmarks menu it randomly decides to go to one of my subfolders and open it, ophten my Iphone stuff or music stuff folder, thus forcing me to arrow back to the main bookmarks folder to find what I want. God knows why it's doing this.

As to Chromevox, I'm afraid I would never consider using a screen reader just! for browsing the net, I too often like net browsing intigrated with many other things, eg writing documents,  email, heck I'll often have a game going in another window, and in the case of Flexible survival need browser and game windows open at the same time just to play.

I have to say I'm loving Chrome so far, the toolbar with extensions being accessible for sure.
My only problem is the weird web layout for history though, the fact that you can't have it sort by day and website is a big part of that.

There is something that annoys me alot in chrome. Often when I'm reading text, JAWS will say "click" at the end of every line if I'm reading line by line. JAWS will even sometimes say "click" between some words on a line. It is so annoying and it doesn't do that on all sites, I noticed it mostly on google groups. Anyone knows why it's doing this or any workaround for this ?

@MasterChief, perhaps you were in incognito mode or you didn't allow chrome to store cookies ? This would explain why when closing and reopening the browser you would not be signed in anymore.

In regards to page is being unresponsive after downloading the file, I found that pressing the application is key and then escaping out fixes it.
I do have one question.  In Firefox and other applications, I could go to a word that has a spelling error, and hit the application  key to insert the correct suggestion. Chrome  doesn’t seem to do this, is there a way that I’m not aware of?  It used to be so quick and easy

well what do you know? it works now.  evidently I wasn't highlighting the word correctly or something.  Strange.  either way, possibly the most handy shortcut I've found.
