Hi bud, I'm not sure if this is similar to what problem you're having, but I have to do a say line command, ins+up arrow to read the current line whenever I'm going through the list of airports in the flight planner, and probably other places. I don't think it's a display problem, the controls aren't labeled in a standard way for JAWS to interact with them. That's Microsoft for you, I guess.

Hi to all.
Yesterday while flying for IYPVA FL226 I had a hickup while doing the
parking check list.
Rober knows about this problem.
But Robert doesn't know about JAWS.
So I ask the following question to my fellow jaws users.
Here is my problem.
It looks like I'm having a display problem.
When I down arrow through my saved flight plans I get the following.
Instead of the name of my flight plans I get number.
for example, the first in the list is number one, the next one is number two and so on down throughout the entire list of flight plans where the name of
the flight plan should be.
But if I tab over while still in the PC curssor mode, to description it
reads correctly like it should be doing.
The same thing happens when I use the alt C command and tab over the the
list of birds to select from.
But if I route PC curssor to the JAWS curssor I can see the name of my birds
and the names of my flight plans like they should be showing up in the
normal PC curssor mode.
Anyone know a fix for this anoying problem?
Many Thanks.
