There is an example of this I sent earlier in this conversation. The issue is, I was told in order to get a screen reader to move into a scroll panel and read the content you need to use insert/spacebar, this works for NVDA and Microsoft's screen reader, but it does not work on the current version of JAWs which is what is being used in this case. I cannot send in the exact file for security reasons so the example will have to suffice. When they attempt to use insert/spacebar, JAWs just reads out "spacebar" every time it is attempted. I know this used to work with JAWs not sure where/when the change happened, but it no longer works. I am guessing the functionality is still there, just with different hot keys.
