in case it may help with this don't forget the {insert control escape} keystroke that re-initializes the scripts.
I use that in word when it is handling a large document (I'm writing a 250 + page book for role playing games in it) and it starts misbehaving, give it a try next time, maybe... it will help! 

have a good one,
inthane

No, to be honest I never knew about that keystroke. Oddly, though, the problem I talked about yesterday was not gone even after I restarted the pc. I had to get rid of the second hard return between two right braces and as soon as I did all was well. I remember this happening occasionally in Dev C++ 4.9.9.2 as well but never as persistently. 

Have a great day,
Alex

Have you also tried JAWSKey+Escape to refresh the screen?

That is part of the problem; there seems to be no common factor
at all, it just "decides" to do it every now and then.  I will
let you know if I find something constant in this.



Have a great day,

If you can find a sequence of steps that reproduces the problem,

that

would help me debug it.  I suspect the cause is JAWS-related,

however,

since others have reported problems with the off screen model of

JAWS 9,

particularly in .NET-based applications.



So, if I can reproduce the problem and the cause is EdSharp, I

will fix

that; if the cause is JAWS, I will try to fix it via the scripts
distributed with EdSharp; and whether the latter case works as a

temporary

solution or not, I encourage folks to let Freedom Scientific

know.

Unfortunately, occasional oddities remain in JAWS support for

NET

applications, and the more we let FS know with specific examples,

the more

likely fixes will occur.

Jamal

I have found that, using edSharp 2.6 on XP with jaws 9, I will
sometimes be told that text from one or two lines back has been
printed again.  For example, a bit of code (unfinished) was:
s=in.next();



[hard return




However, edSharp told me that the s=...  line had been put where
I wrote it and then again between the two right braces.

Arrowing

over the area in question one character at a time, between the
braces, revealed several "blank" characters and an s immediately
before the final right brace.  Not only should that s=...  line
not have been spoken a second time, but arrowing over it one
character at a time gave different text than did arrowing over

it

one line at a time.  I have found that the only way to fix this
is to restart; alt-tabbing back to it and even closing both
EdSharp and Jaws does nothing.



Have a great day,
Alex
