Okay. My last message was not so clear. In notepad, when I focus the cursor on any individual letter, the letter = begins echoing over and over again. The same thing occurs in forms mode in internet explorer in edit fields = with text. Typing in a search term for example. I don't see this = phenomenon anywhere else like Microsoft word or the desktop. . Using jaws 5.0. windows xp professional on a network. this is at work so there's quite a few computers on the network I don't see this behavior at home or anywhere else for that matter. I did get the suggestion about going into accessibility and changing the = cursor blink rate to zero. I merely wondered if anyone else had suggestions or had observed similar = behavior from jaws. Hope that's clear enough.
