RE: Latest Version of JFW with Vista?

They didn't seem very certain that the problem was related to the vista
theme, and they did say that not everyone who used the vista theme
experienced the problem.

I don't really think they have a clue as to why some of us find that
jaws becomes unable to see some types of information (such as list
boxes) suddenly.  Sometimes I can cure it by rebooting or restarting
jaws, and sometimes not.

Yesterday's advice was, hold on to your hats, to try yet another
uninstall and reinstall technique (after making sure the theme was
vista).

At least they were (at least this one tech was) willing to admit others
are experiencing the problem.

I checked my own notes and I first reported this problem on June 6th.
