Ok, tried copying settings over from windows7 64 bit machine where all seems well, and made no difference, but then thought of something else, and tried loading the slightly older jaws11 instance on this machine, and there the cursor behaves like it should by moving one character at a time when moving left/right, so next I tried going back into jaws12, and then just unassigning the aftermarket scripts to be used with VS.Net 2008 (msenv) so that it then loaded the FS supplied scripts, and in that case it also just moved over one character at a time in the code editing window. Just makes me thus pretty sure that some or other object/interface item in this jaws 12.0.1158 is interacting incorrectly with the afternarket jaws scripts on this windows7 32 bit machine for some or other reason. Off hand, maybe I'll just try do a complete repair/reinstall of jaws 12 on this machine, to make sure there are no jaws settings or anything being saved that are causing this issue, but it's just a bit strange that it's literally only this combination that's an issue, while other similar configurations are working fine.
