This sounds like a sibling to the old problem where the Alt key refuses to work, and every alt-tab becomes merely a tab. The same remedies usually apply. This one has been around almost as long as JFW has been around.

But I kept having the windows key constantly on. I did think it was something to do with sticky keys but hecked and they weren't even on. I found restarting JAWS stopped it.
