Last Week in NVDA

Last week, I continued work on implementing braille display support. Early in the week, I introduced code to move the caret to the next or previous line when scrolling the display if it cannot be scrolled any further. I fixed a bug that Mick found in liblouis. Mick and I discussed how to handle the review cursor with regard to braille, although no code has been implemented yet. We spent some time investigating a crash in the Windows version of brltty/brlapi which has been bothering us for weeks. Although we now understand exactly how to reproduce it, we unfortunately don't know how to fix it. My week was divided by an extremely pleasant, relaxing two day holiday with my fiancée.

Mick continued his rather difficult work on the virtual buffer library. We spent several hours on Friday discussing a rather mind boggling piece of code which Mick had been struggling with for days, but we're hoping we finally have it straightened out now. :) He added the ability for the review cursor to review the text of a virtual buffer, rather than just reviewing the internal text of the object, which is not always useful to the user. This means that you can now navigate the buffer hierarchically using object navigation and the review cursor will move to the text at that point in the buffer. Mick also fixed a bug in the speaking of text selections which caused the selection to be read as two chunks instead of one in certain cases.
