The left edge is announced when navigating by Numpad 1. However, when
reaching the right edge with Numpad 3, this is not announced. Why?
NVDA version 2025.3.3
Thanks in advance,
Veli

Hi Veli,
I just checked here, and it seems to be announcing both left and right edges. Where are you when you are experiencing this, and which version of NVDA are you using?
If you recently updated NVDA, have you restarted the PC?
If you press NVDA+q then down arrow to "restart with add-ons disabled" and enter, does it make a difference?
Kind regards
Quentin

the command moves through the screen when using screen review. If you
don't hear right edge, you are using object navigation and the key has
no documented function, according to gestures help other than in screen
review.

I examine the contents of an alert dialog box opened with JavaScript.
As mentioned, my NVDA is version 2025.3.3, which I installed as soon as
it was released."
Thanks in advance,

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Brave or other Chromium-based browser, go to address bar (Control+L).
2. Write the following string without quotes (if copy-pasting, you have
to manually type the javascript: prefix): "javascript:alert('first
line\nSecond line');", and press Enter.
3. When NVDA/browser says something like "message from the page...",
press NVDA+Numpad 9 to examine the last line of the alert dialog.
4. Go to end of that line by pressing NVDA+End.
5. Now, when you try to move to the right with Numpad 3, NVDA should
announce the right edge. Instead, it only says the last character on
that line.
Regards,
Veli

I don't know if this is any sort of problem or the result of how the
address bar is displayed. But you are mixing two different movement
methods and you still haven't said anything about this. You haven't
indicated that you are in screen review when you use the NVDA numpad3
command which is specifically intended as a review command, not an
object navigation command. And what difference does it make in an
instance like this if the command announces end or just what it does.
In review, NVVDA 6 announces something like end, so does NVDA 9. What
are you trying to do?

Also, if you just use any of the stand alone review commands, that is
without the NVDA modifier, you hear either right or bottom. That is,
numpad 3, 6, or 9.
What are you using numpad insert 3 for that you can't use these other
commands instead?

Also, I see no difference between what numpad insert numpad 3 does and
numpad insert numpad 6 when in screen review.
Gene
numpad insert numpad 6 when in screen review.
