I think the message bubble still has to be present for it to work. And as I
said, Windows doesn't display them long enough so JAWS can't see it to
reread it.

Yes thank you. I do recall something to that affect with a prior version of
Jaws. I tried the insert tab suggestion also offered up by a previous
poster, but it doesn't seem as though it worked. Oh well... Thanks anyway...

At some point during the lifecycle of I believe JAWS 8 or 9, you were able
to have the message repeated to you by using the insert+tab or jaws key plus
tab combination after it popped up. The problem is, it doesn't stay up for
long, so JAWS doesn't have time to read it a second time. That's a minor
flaw with Windows itself, and not something FS can correct in a future
update of JAWS.

I'm aware of the left click ability. It is useful, but I for example,
wouldn't wat to just left click on something if I didn't hear what it was
exactly that Jaws said to begin with. That's more my inquiry than anything
else. The bility to have Jaws repeat the message if I for whatever reason
didn't hear it the first time.

But within how many seconds do you have to left click? And do you mean that
you definitely can't hit Enter because that will only activate whatever
control Jaws says is the focus at that moment in a dialogue, and you won't
be in what jaws perceived as a dialogue? What if you didn't hear or
understand everything the bubble said? Is it still no worry to just click on

it and have faith?

Simple. JAWS left click anywhere and the bubble will be clicked.
