Happens to me quite a bit. I know that JAWS 9 works a lot better in this
respect, but I finally embraced JAWS 11/12 to benefit from the additional
features and word list capabilities, amongst others. I have made a conscious
decision to take the bitter pill with the sugar cube.

Subject: Jaws losing focus.
Hello to all,
I'm using Jaws 11 with Windows 7. I'm finding, however, that, although
Jaws is running pretty well, several times during the workday, it will lose
focus during system navigation, for example, alt-tabbing to another window,
going to the desktop with Windows key-m, getting into the start menu, etc. I
get a message saying lost focus, alt-tab. That doesn't necessarily bring
things back into focus.
There are also times when Jaws isn't reading everything it should, for
instance a current line, or letting me know a web page is pulled up. In that
instance, when arrowing, I get the window title but hear blank, blank, blank,
when sighted coworkers can see the page. The only remedy I've found is to
completely close Internet Explorer and re-open the page.
Are there some Jaws settings I can change to make it run more smoothly?
I've also been told by AT that there aren't any display issues affecting Jaws
performance. I've also tried unloading and reloading Jaws, but does not help.
Thanks for any advice.
Judy
