I have had problems reading certain things with JAWS 6.0 and 6.1 that did not 
exist before. Here is something that works for me sometimes. This is even true 
on some html pages which most of them on the internet are or are in part. When 
I do not get the usual response I switch to the JAWS cursor. It is surprising 
what one can find sometimes. On pages where there are some tables the virtual 
cursor may ignore them and that will change the links list view. So clicking on 
a link takes you to the wrong place. Goin to JAWS cursor and doing insert f7 
brings up a different list view and if you click on the links you will get to 
where you want to go. 
Maybe when the table options were moved it changed how JAWS buffers the pages. 
Table options are now in the text processing and no longer in the html portion. 
It might have been better to add them elsewhere like in text processing but not 
remove them from html options. 
Even with the 6.1 release there are many things that did not get refixed. Just 
a thought "if something isn't broken why fix it?" Improving and adding is good 
but usually fixing what isn't broke breaks it.
