Mike, Keith and anyone on this list who is using JAWS:
When you add entries to any dictionary file, using the Dictionary Manager in
JAWS, you must remember to save the file. You do this by pressing CTRL+S at
the main screen, before closing the Dictionary Manager with ALT+F4. If you do
not save your changes, before you exit the Dictionary Manager, they will be
lost/thrown away/dumped, by the Dictionary Manager. And, of course, the time
it took you to add those entries to make life easier for you, will have been
wasted.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Mike,
That is truly strange. You were invoking the default dictionary with the
Ctrl+Shift+d each time?
So in effect, your changes to the default.jdf file were not being saved?
Have you looked at the file itself in your user/settings/ENU folder to see if
the modification date is indeed changed?
It's either a problem with the dictionary manager not making the changes, or
that the file is not being saved, and that might point to a problem with admin
rights, or the wrong folder location.
And FS can't help you with it?

Hi Dave;
I couldn't add to the default dictionary most of the time. Then all of a
sudden it would work properly and then all of a suddenwham, no go!
Unfortunately the no go was more often than the go! Take care.

What is this issue?

Hi Sugar;
My issues started from day 1 of the first build/ version of J11. As
they updated J11 things seemed to get better but, although the loss of focus
doesn't happen quite as often, J11 still loses focus regularly.I have spoken to
tech support & written my complaints but, since they can't duplicate the
problem they can't or won't help. As I stated earlier this happens on more
than 1 computer & more than 1 operting system. I don't use my computer all the
heavily so I don't think it's an issue of having to many processes or windows
open. 1 other thing about J11 that I have never been able to get answer for is
the default dictionary issues I have in all builds even though I could
duplicate the problem while in a tandem session or on the phone with tech
support. Okay, enough of the rant. LOL Take care.

Hi Shannon, Dave, & Chris;
I have this problem on a regular basis! For , no reason! It will
happen just by doing something as simple as clicking on something on the
desktop. When I invoke the Jaws key, windows key, + F4 keystroke, then when I
try to restart any version of Jaws with its respective hotkey, no version of
Jaws will load. I have to do a hard shutdown & reboot before I get Jaws back
again. I had this happen while I had Freedom Scientific on the phone for a
different reason and they couldn't figure out / explain why it would do this
either. I thought, at first, that I would be very happy with J12 but, it seems
to be doing the same old crap the J11 did! Losing focus & just quit working
while attempting the simplest of tasks'. I have written them & spoken with
them, to no avail. Hopefully somehow this activity, or lack of, will get
cleared up. Oh, by the way, this is happening on 2 different desktop computers
running XPSP3 Home, 1 laptop running XPSP3 Pro, & 1 desktop computer running
XPSP3 MediaCenter. Take care.
Mike
