I often use the control shift v command to move a message from one folder to
the other in Outlook Express. In my copy of Jaws 7, jaws would report my
keystrokes and then speak the move dialogue, then speak as I navigated my OE
folders until I got to the one where I wanted to move the message and
pressed Enter.
Now, in my new Jaws 8+ (it's the one that's on the site currently for
download), very often Jaws will say nothing at all when I do this, even
though because I'm experienced, I figured out how to check and get jaws to
tell me where I'd wound up, and that the task was actuallyu in progress. A
new Jaws user wouldn't think of this, though, so that's not very good.
They'd just think their keystrokes hadn't taken.
NowIf I hit Escape to cancel the task, and then start again, Jaws will
usually behave normally the next time. But it happens often enough so that
it's a pain. I'm sure in this case that there's nothing I could change in
the way of settings. I just want to know, is this happening to a lot of
people, also? For what it may matter, I'm using OE 6 under Win XP Home SP2,
with the standard Windows display and nothing problematic in the way of any
other settings or video stuff.
