Braille doesn't follow continuous reading in virtual buffer.

Open a webpage or a pdf file in a virtual buffer and launch a continuous reading. The braille isn't refresh and stay on the starting line.

@dkager, can you reproduce this?

May be the initial reporter just used review cursor say all, which makes this an invalid report, as than, braille doesn't follow unless you are tethered to review.

[dkager]

Yes, I can reproduce:

1. In Firefox, press ctrl+home on this page or presumably any other page.
2. With speech and braille enabled, start a sayAll (NVDA+a).

That having been said, I think this could be a duplicate.

Blocked by #4877

Hmm. I happily said that this was blocked by #4877, but I don't remember why. It doesn't seem to be related.

[dkager]

Because sayAll should send events to scroll the braille display?

[LeonarddeR]

Nope, a one line patch. Updater.updateCaret should be obj._set_selection(updater)

In any case, bloket label has to be removed. Could you take care of it @LeonarddeR? Thanks.

Has anyone looked at this recently? I had a request for this from a teacher and their student today.

cc: @burmancomp is this still an issue in NVDA 2024.4 Beta?

[Adriani90]

Testing with a Brailliant BI40x and NVDA 2024.4.1, this is still the case.
It seems there is no concept in NVDA for following review cursor or virtual cursor in braille when using say all.
As far as I understand say all in braille can only follow system focus / system caret.

Try tethering braille to review.

[Adriani90]

Thanks for the hint, this seems to work. But should that not work as well when braille teter is set to automatic?
