Hi,
It seemsthat quite a few people get snagged or slowed down by that bar when
tabbing through we sites.
Too bad that Microsoft can't offer some alternative format that one could
set up
to adopt a more classic set up infuture I E 7 versions.

Subject: Lost IE7 Focus After Using Alt-D
After using Alt-D and Control-C to copy the address of the current page
in IE7, I could not get back out of the address bar with control-tab as
usual. I was stuck in a variety of menus which I could not seem to
escape or stuck in a screen which had apparently lost focus. The JAWS
cursor could only see a few menu options. I could not get the
Control-Shift-Q command to list the tabs for a very long time and when
it did, pressing Enter on the desired tab did not resolve the focus
problem. (I'm not sure if I was supposed to press Enter or do something
else to get the focus on the desired page.) I finally had to use F5 to
just resend the page to get focus back.
Can others reproduce this or tell me what would have worked better.
Since IE7 uses control--tab for a different purpose than IE6, I wonder
what the substitution keystroke should have ben.
Cher
