Elf,
I've received those letters, all three, and more than once. However I've
also received more than one that had specific things to try, and failing
that, a promise to get a call from someone in the escalation department,
which has been helpful to them.
And even a couple that admit to having duplicated what I've found with a
promise to "add this to the list for a future revision."
Admittedly I do send them more than just an occasional report, so I have a
large enough sample density to result in observations with fairly good
statistical validity.
About 60% "Can't reproduce"
About 20% "Try this to resolve"
About 20% "Boy we sure missed that one"
So I'm all good with corresponding often and with persistence.

from past experience I will let you know that you probably get a letter
denying that they could reproduce the problem, or that it's not the fault
of
jaws, but something on your two machine, or... there is a third response
they give, something about not currently working on this nor are there any
plans to in the near future... something like this, these are all what you
might call box stamp replies that they send out, but in an update or
version
or two, suddenly the problem disappears! how amazing!

Dave,
I will compose my message to FS so soon as I send this one away. I
will give them as much information as I can, and just maybe they'll
work on fixing it. I'm sure they won't find it particularly pressing.
<Smile> One can hope, though.
Take care,
Shanda

fix
most of the problems. I hope.

Shanda,
You may not find anyone else having exactly the same problem and able
to
demonstrate it in the same way. FS would be better off (as would all
JAWS
users) to know all individual specific problems related to each
person's
unique installation and hardware. They can do a better job of fixing
issues
if they know all the variances that lead to a similar symptom.
We don't gain any more attention from FS by having a few more people
agree
on a problem than if each of us individually send in our problems. It
results in the same number of people, but each with a voice.
Don't delay, send that message today!

I wanted to see if others had this issue before reporting to FS.

Hi all,
One issue I am having on a particular site. FS reported that in JFW
12 you could now see the "sample" button on the Audible site when you
wanted to listen to a narrator. You could see it before, of course,
but could not click on it--well, now they're saying you can. You
could in version 10 I think it was, but in 12 you cannot. Also,
several of the links on the Audible site are no longer labelled
correctly--they just say link.
anyone else having similar issues where FS says something works now
and it clearly doesn't?
Take care,
Shanda

Mike,
I've noticed slow or halting performance with both JAWS 12 and JAWS
11
on
my
machines, and have reported specific situations to FS. All I can
suggest
is
that you report the same to FS, and do so often. Only then will we
get
their
attention.

Hi folks! Contrary to some listers' opinions, jfw 12 does have its
issues. I am experiencing sluggishness while using either IE or Fire
Fox.
It's not my computer, because the same thing is happening on my lap
top.
I
figured it might be because of flash content on web pages. I have
checked
the option to ignore flash on web-pages, but I'm still seeing the
flash
content anyway. Not sure why that is. Maybe I'm doing something
wrong,
but
the point is, it really slows me down. Anyone else have this issue,
and
what steps have you taken to correct it, aside from going back to jfw
10
or
11?
