interesting. Try to control+right arrow through this series of words with #NVDASR and notice how it skips "boox palma": "sized Boox Palma e-reader’s on" - what sort of devilish regex pattern match would do this?
(update: as found by @jscholes
"The words are separated with a no-break space, instead of a standard one. Replace those, and it works fine: "sized Boox Palma e-reader’s on"" - this does work.)

@jscholes wow incredible, how did you figure out the no-break space there? When I read it character by character nothing odd is announced in the spacing so this one was just baffling. I figured this is the kind of stuff the unicode normalization data setting would control but maybe not.

I pressed the report current character command three times on a regular space from earlier in your post, and then on the one you were having trouble with. A standard space will be reported as 32/0x20, while a no-break space is 160/0xa0. Mostly though, I knew because it's happened to me before.
