Hi Gary,
Using the latest build of JAWS and XP Pro, I went to both Amazon.com and
Audible.com via Internet Explorer 8, and I was able to use the JAWS Virtual
Find command and return to the Virtual Cursor without any problems. I also
was able to pull up the link list, and press Escape, and get right back to
the Virtual Cursor. I haven't been able to reproduce any of the issues on
this end.
Blessings,
Brian

After doing a little more experimentation, I've found that the problem is
more general. Any JFW dialog that I pop up over a large web page will cause
the Virtual Cursor mode not to return unless I am activating a link that
takes me to another page or I press Tab a time or 2. I have observed this
behavior on AMAZON.COM as well as the other 2 sites I mentioned. AMAZON.COM
is a complex page with many links, and is the type of page to check for this
behavior on your systems. I would be interested to know if others are
seeing this behavior. Just bring up a dialog such as the Links List or the
dialog that lists the icons in the System Tray, and press Escape to exit the
dialog. Press the Plus key on your keypad to see if JFW speaks Virtual
Cursor or PC Cursor. It should say Virtual Cursor. Try it on
www.amazon.com
or
www.audible.com
If you try it, tell us the version of Windows and the browser you are using,
since this may make a difference.

Sounds as if we're all crapping out with this 11.

A problem I had with JFW a few versions ago has returned. Using the latest
version of JFW, the Virtual Find command invoked with Control+f doesn't work
on large web pages such as AUDIBLE.COM and Zap2It. JFW doesn't return to
Virtual Cursor mode after entering text to find and pressing Enter. I can
work around the problem by pressing Tab, which seems to restore the Virtual
Cursor. Then I can press F3 to find my text.
This all seems very familiar since my bug report to FS when it happened
before was similar to what I wrote here. They eventually fixed it, but as
usual, they broke it again. Reminds me of the "Reply to Sender" script,
which they break on a regular basis. Has anyone tried that one with the
latest version of JFW?
