John Carsen did not send me an email about this question nor did I say that he
did. It was a telephone conversation. I am not interested in a "work-around"
I want it to work correctly and as I said from a user's standpoint they proke
it. It is the attitude that I am especially disappointed with.

Since you did not quote the e-mail we don't know what he said. I'm also
thinking he was telling you a workaround.

Just heard back from Freedom Scientific about this complaint, see below.
John Carsen from their escalations department said that is not broken but
they changed the way it works. Well, from a user's standpoint it is broken
because you now cannot do something that you could easily before. Carsen says
that now instead of hitting JAWS key plus 5 on the number row, you can route
jaws to pc then jaws key 5 then PC cursor. His attitude was that's the way it
is now get over it.

Starting with JFW 7.10, there has been a bug in JFW with Excel. When
editing a formula that has nested functions, JFW does not report the color of
the parenthesis correctly. Excel allows 7 levels of nested functions and the
color of the parenthesis is different for each level. Starting with JFW 7.10
through JFW 9 it reports only black at all levels.
This may not be important to most people but it is to me. They just can't
update/upgrade without breaking something.
