The way Jaws for Windows interacts with a webpage changed in 7.1. I'm not
sure what the changes were exactly. But I know with the new way Jaws for
Windows interacts with the webpage the webpage does not scroll down until
you get to the bottom of the webpage and it needs to scroll. On the other
hand with Jaws for Windows 7.0 and earlier the webpage scrolled when it
should not scroll which made it difficult for a sighted person to see what
the computer is saying. In my opinion they left the legacy support in
version 7.1 until they could get the bugs worked out to their satisfaction
in version 8. I guess in their opinion they believe legacy support is no
longer necessary.
I hope this helps.
Chris.

Subject: Legacy Support for Internet Explorer: what does it do?
I understand from recent posts that a feature with this name must've been
introduced in Jaws 7.1 (it doesn't appear among the Configuration manager's
HTML/Misc. options on my Jaws 7) and has disappeared in Version 8. What did
it do? More aspecifically, what sort of problem did it solve? Personally,
I don't have any Web navigation issues to complain of at the moment, so
maybe that's part of why I'm perplexed. Can anyone explain what the story
is with this legacy support deal?
Thanks.
