#2422 Accessibility: NVDA screen reader briefly freezes when copying URL via Ctrl+Shift+U in groups with many entries
Summary:
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+U to copy the URL to the clipboard causes NVDA to freeze momentarily. The duration of the freeze scales with the number of entries in the currently focused group.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Open a database.
- Navigate to a group that contains a large number of entries (e.g., 1000).
- Focus on any entry within that group.
- Press Ctrl+Shift+U to copy the URL to the clipboard.
Expected Behavior:
The URL is copied to the clipboard promptly with no noticeable delay or screen reader interruption, regardless of how many entries are in the group.
Actual Behavior:
NVDA freezes for approximately one second before responding. The freeze duration appears to be proportional to the number of entries in the group. For example:
• ~10 entries in the group: URL copies almost immediately, no noticeable freeze.
• ~1000 entries in the group: NVDA freezes for roughly one second.
Environment:
• KeePass version: 2.61
• NVDA version: 2025.3.2
• OS: Windows 10 64-bit
This is likely to be an issue with NVDA rather than KeePass.
