I ran into a similar issue recently in 2020 where I was using scheduleFunction
to watch for a value changing before announcing it was done.
The scheduled function never read a different value to the original despite the
value updating. I can’t remember how I was getting the value but it may have
been a window name or text.

Hi folks. I have a script that reads meter levels for a set number of times
using the QueueFunction. In jaws 2019, all works as expected, but in jaws
2020 it's not. For example, pressing any key in 2019 will stop the function
and jaws stops speaking, but in 2020 only the control key works. Also, in
2019, while the function is running, any meter levels are constantly updated
as they change, but again, in 2020 jaws just repeats the initial level
encountered when initiating the script.
So, I'm not expecting anyone to know exactly what's going on, but is it
possible this function has changed or become somehow broken in jaws 2020?
I'll paste the script and function it calls below to give a bit more
clarity. BTW, it's only the QueueFunction that seems to be the issue in the
script, but pasting the full script. Thanks Steve.
