okay. does it make a difference... like usually when I've made my changes
and have okayed closing the second dialog, I usually do escape to get out of
the first dialog, and then do control-s to save the changes I've made. I
wouldn't think there's a difference, but you know how computers can be
sometimes. and just as I suspected, even when I unckeched that box, it
wouldn't uncheck while the others would. that's what happened to me before.
I got so frustrated after the millionth time that I pretty much gave up and
got used to it. this was a couple of years ago already.

Subject: RE: braille display attributes and highlighting
Patricia,
I've turned this feature off for a number of users and never had the situation where the checkbox wouldn't uncheck. Here are the steps I go through:
1. From the application which is showing the highlight - you've given the example of the start menu so I'll use that - press Insert + 6 to open the configuration manager. I have to then Alt + Tab to the manager, as the start menu hogs focus.
2. Open the Set Options menu and choose Braille options to open a dialogue box.
3. Tab to the Braille Marking button and push it to open a second dialogue box.
4. There are seven checkboxes on here, and I uncheck all of them.
5. Tab to the OK button and press it to close the second dialogue and return to the first, then Tab to the OK button on that and press it.
6. Save the changes with Control + S, then close the Configuration manager with Alt + F4.
7. The start menu closed when I moved focus from it in step 1, so I have to open it again.
This sequence works for the individual application, and it means dots seven and eight only show things like cursor position and capitalisation. I also go though the same steps for the default settings, for which step 1 is different: 1. From any application press Insert + 6 to open the configuration manager and then press Control + Shift + D to open the default settings.
Does this seem like what you've done, and got a different outcome?

Hi all:
I am using a Powerbraille 40 braille display and think that this may be an issue with all braille displays. has anyone noticed that when say, you bold something, it doesn't show up as such on the braille display, even though you have the attributes checked in configuration manager? also, when you do things such as push the start menu key, or anywhere where text is highlighted it has this annoying line that shows you this fact. I am an experienced braille user and I've read that this line may make it hard for new braille users to read what's on the display, but heck it makes it hard for any user. I can read it, I just have to concentrate more to do so. I've tried in previous versions of jaws (using jaws 7 now) to uncheck the checkbox that said highlight, but for some strange reason it was one of those boxes that wouldn't uncheck. any solution to this, or is it something I'm just going to have to deal with? I'm used to it now, but being that I'm subscribed to this list I'd figure I'd ask.
