Hi, Try turn off the virtual cursor before enter text in the body of a message. This can be done pressing insert+z. You'll need turn the virtual cursor on again after compose and send the message. Hope this help. From: Dave Van der Molen Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 12:06 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Jaws 9.0 and Mozilla Thunderbird At work, I use Jaws 8.0 with Thunderbird and Windows XP Professional. I would love to use the 9.0 beta, but when I enter text in the body of a message, I cannot read what I have written. Jaws announces the characters I'm typing, but no text appears on my braille display, and nothing happens when I use the Jaws "say all" command to read the text. With Jaws 8, I use Daniel Dalton's scripts, but I find that when I allow Thunderbird to fill in E-mail addresses from my address book as I'm typing text in the "to" field, things get messy when I'm trying to send to someone who is not in my address book but whose address starts with the same letter or two as an address in my book. I have to delete what Thunderbird automatically fills in and then type the rest of the address. Does anyone know of a solution to this?
