Hi all,

While looking for something else, I came across the following section in the 
default.jcf that may be of interest to those who use frames & their 
interaction with scripts...

Sorry, but I have no information other than what is in the below extract.


; Set this to 1 in order to use the legacy method of matching user defined 
JAWS frames to new

; text events. The legacy method was used by default prior to JAWS 10.0 
Update 1.

; Using the new method, JAWS will match frames that are vertically shorter 
than a line of text,

; even if they are 1 pixel high, with new text written to that area of the 
screen. Frames that

; are taller than one line of text will need to vertically cover each 
desired line by at least

; half the height of the text in order for JAWS to match the frame with new 
text written to

; those lines.

; Using the legacy method, frames that were vertically too short, or that 
overlapped an adjacent line

; by a few pixels, completely inhibited new text events for that area of the 
screen. This was a bug,

; but the behavior was so distinct that we are giving users the ability to 
have JAWS continue this

; behavior.

UseOldFrameMatchMethod=0
