The only way I've found to fix the problem of the CTRL-KEY not shutting JFW 8 up is to unload JAWS, and then reload it. This seemed to fix the problem.

It appears Jaws also has that annoying problem back where trying to arrow over a date with slashes in it or any punctuation for that matter causes repeated hiccups. I've never done an install of a new version of Jaws until 8 came out and am wondering if I should have waited until the bugs were worked out. I'm seeing lots of little annoyances that I didn't have before. Outlook is the worst for me because messages are reading and then suddenly all the header info gets read. It appears Jaws locks up temporarily and nothing is being read or can be read with any key stroke. Getting out of Outlook and coming back in resolves this but then I sometimes can't stop Jaws from reading by pressing the control key. It seems some of these were problems from the past and are now back. Barbara
