Hi folks,
I have run into an issue in command prompt which bothers me while using the
tools that are accessible via the windows command line, such as the CMD itself,
python interactive interpreter and so on. when the command box fills up with
the stuff and it starts scrolling down for the new lines to be appeared, I
noticed that the backspace, when pressed, Jaws reads the character to the left
of the cursor's above line (instead of the cursor's current line), though the
backspace is doing what is expected to do. For the command line, the CLS
command clears the screen and it is a decent quick fix. However for python and
also the other tools I am not so sure of such a command/fix. Now I want to find
out if this issue is present in any other variants of this combination: XP SP3
and Jaws 10. Besides, I appreciate any suggestions or comments on how to
resolve this issue.
Many thanks,
Hamid
