David,

I'm using I E 10, Jaws 13, on a Win7, 64 bit computer.

Hi, Miriam.
well, for the record, I'm using NVDA along with Firefox 34. I doubt it's
related to NVDA but it could possibly be browser-related. I'll try it with
IE, just to see if it makes a difference. I do recall that Evan Reese also
verified these issues. It's interesting that you're not encountering the
problem. Would you tell me which browser you use?
