RE: Jaws opening submenus of context menus

Gary & Ted,
 
Thanks for the thoughts.  It hasn't happened for a while now, so I'm crossing 
my fingers!  I swear though, that it was like the computer was possessed!

Several years ago, mine began coming up that way by default, but a quick repair 
resolved the problem.

Cher, it would be worth checking to see if the JAWS cursor is tethered to the 
PC cursor when this happens.  Pressing the Control JAWS Key Keypad Minus 
combination is a toggle, turning this mode on and off.  Sometimes, the JAWS 
cursor could just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, causing 
whatever element it hovers over to react to the mouse pointer.

Gary-  You're making me wonder...  I've had an intermittent problem with my new 
computer when the menus would just start going nuts- opening, clicking, 
highlighting all over the map- with no ability to stop it with the keyboard or 
enter keyboard commands because everything was moving so fast.  The only way we 
stopped it was to use the physical mouse to click somewhere outside the menus.  
Could this be an example of what you're describing?

Doug,

You may have the JAWS cursor tethered to the PC cursor.  Hold down Control 
and the JAWS key and press Keypad Minus.  Hopefully, you will hear the 
message "JAWS cursor will not follow PC cursor."  When the mouse pointer 
hovers over a menu, it will cause the behavior you are describing.
