ok. right! Got it. thanks for clarifying! absolutely report this to fs! have
you done a bug report before? they like it in a particular style really,
steps one, 2, 3, etc to describe reproducing the problem. and if it is
possible to describe where they might download the application in which this
is occurring, this will be of great benefit. although I know that'll probly
be the sticking point and difficulty. thing is, if they can't reproduce it,
they can't solve it either.
Would everyone else reckon this is a distinct OSM problem?
I find it interesting though that jaws obvoiusly recognizes at some level
that it's on a graphic, because as the man says, it allows him to label it
and reflects the label upon insert+G.
man! it might be worth investigating what's under the hood of the insert+G
script Jitendra, to see if you can morph any of those functions in some way
as to actually be able to return the graphic to you. or, conversely, set up
HotSpotClicker to click on it, and label it's hotkey properly, thus avoiding
the non-solid feel of having no label to click etc. it'd be quicker
functionally too. you know about hotspot clicker right?

don't download the stubs for developers, but rather the main installation
package if your interested in trying it, and remember there's a separate
process of connecting hsc to your application that you desire to use it in,
after the normative process of actually installing it.
