Hello do any of you use power toys for windows

There is a setting in the general folder for focus

It goes something like prevent applications from steeling focus from the

window you are currently in.

I believe this is an xp setting that is checked by default.

I have the check box unchecked and have no issues with losing focus.

Maybe this could help your issues.

HTH  Bob

Hi, I've used the dictionary manager several times, with no focus issues
so
far. I'm using JAWS 8.
