Description
Sometimes, a screenreader will read the screen incorrectly due to updates to the information etc. Although the virtual buffer currently has a shortcut key to refresh the screen, it would be nice to have a global refresh shortcut key for applications outside the virtual buffers. This would especially be useful in applications in the Open Office suite where NVDA has a tendency to not read lines of text after one has been working in the document for a while.

As Peter noted, NVDA does not use display hooks or a display intercept, so screen refreshes are irrelevant.
I don't know what is causing the OpenOffice issue, but I would suggest it possibly relates to events being out of sync or the like. I do know that a "refresh" won't help this.

Since NVDA does not have any means of getting display information I think tallking about screen is not really what are you looking for.
Perhaps as a workaround it might be possible to reinitialize NVDA object corresponding to the OOO writer document but it would be even nicer to get the actual problem figured out and try to solve it.
At the other hand we are hoping for the IA2 support in one of the upcoming OOO releases so I don't really know if it's worth working further on the current implementation.
Definatelly I am interested in any comments which may clear our intentions towards OOO.
