Thanks Rick for letting us know about this. I am currently using JAWS
8.0.423 demo. However, since I'm on a dial-up connection, I'm not sure
how long it will take to update to JAWS 8.0.2173, so I may not be able
to see if I can duplicate the problem. However, I am optimistic that the
virtual buffer issues has been fixed in this update. Does anyone know
how long it would take for this update using dial-up? I'm not on about
downloading the full release, but rather updating JAWS through the check
for updates feature. Thanks!
