SuperNova / ScreenReader is closing unexpectedly while using Microsoft Edge

A recent Edge update has introduced compatibility issues with SuperNova, causing SuperNova / ScreenReader to close unexpectedly

A compatibility issue has been identified between Microsoft Edge's update 140.0.3485.66 and SuperNova / ScreenReader. Some users have reported experiencing SuperNova / ScreenReader closing unexpectedly while using Microsoft Edge. This issue occurs after navigating through certain items in Edge's main toolbar (such as the Favourites and Settings drop-down menus). 

If you would like to reference this issue, it has been logged in our internal bug reporting system as OT#49918

Our development team have replicated the issue, and the fix is available in version 24.04 of SuperNova. If you do not have access to this update, please refer to the workarounds listed below: 

Workaround 1: Use an alternative web browser 

This issue is limited to Microsoft Edge. Until a resolution is implemented, we recommend using an alternative web browser, such as Chrome or Firefox.

Workaround 2: Roll back Edge to a previous build

 If you are unable to use an alternative web browser, you can roll back your Edge version/build to a previous one where the issue was not present.
