Hi David!
Yes, it seems to be a problem specific to JAWS 15. Neither JAWS 14 nor NVDA 
have produced this phenomenon. Interesting. I'll pass this on to FS.

Cheers! Robbie

Hi Robbie,
have you checked whether this is a screen reader problem? When the problem 
occurs, what happens if you restart Jaws, or run narrator (ctrl+windows key+u 
turns it on or off, and you can run it while Jaws is still running).

David.

 Hi! I’m experiencing a
 strange phenomenon after Audacity has been running for a  while. When pressing 
alt-t JAWS announces Tracks as  expected. However, the Tracks menu does not 
open as usual. I  need to press cursor down to actually enter it. Then the  
first item (Add New) is announced. When I then press either  n or cursor right 
to enter the Add New submenu, I’m  suddenly in the File menu. It’s impossible 
to add a  new track this way. I then assigned ctrl-shift-n to  the New Stereo 
Track command and this works. However, even  when pressing this shortcut, 
sometimes the context menu pops  up. When closing it by pressing Escape the new 
track is  there. This does not occur  always but after I’ve been working on a 
project for  some time. Any ideas? I’m using Audacity 2.0.5 with  JAWS 15 on 
Windows 8.  Thanks.
 Robbie
