Steve,
I've certainly had similar issues in a number of situations but have never
found a solution. I tend just to rely on the fact that I know that I'm
doing the right thing even though Jaws is trying to tell me something
different.
One of the situations is when trying to sort data in a spread sheet - the
choice between "Header row" and "No header row" often misreports itself in
this way. I'm sure that there have been several other situations as well as
this.

Subject: [jaws-uk] JAWS 8 and Excel 2000
If I try to delete a cell by going to the Edit menu and choosing Delete,
the resulting dialogue is misread in two ways:
1. The control with focus as the dialogue opens isn't read.
2. Using arrow keys to move around the control, which is a set of four
radio buttons, causes JAWS to misreport that each one moved to is
unselected, when the very action of moving to the radio button selects
it.
I've had this with two flavours of version 8 - 1163 and 2173 - on
different PCs. JAWS version 6.2 and 7 work okay on the same dialogue,
and JAWS 8 works okay in Excel 2003, so it seems to be very specific to
JAWS and Excel versions.
Is anyone else getting this problem? And if so, have you found a
solution?
