Agreed!
I think it has something to do with reading highlighted text.
I'm thinking that text in many instal dialog boxes is not quote highlighted
unquote.
Therefore, jfw doesn't pick up on it.
JFW instal dialog boxes itself reads everything just perfect!
ON the other hand, Adobe flash player update installers is brutal! All I
get is the letters q which, I guess means quit. And, the letter I, for
install.
That company needs to be newked!
The JFW cursor always reads desktop items when arrowing down to read some
porrly designed dialog boxes, program intergfaces etc, etc.
Overall, I find jfw 12 to be filled with focus issues that they fixed in
version 11 and broke again in 12.
Sometimes text doesn't take on my google homepage whilst in forms mode. I
have to tab to the search button then enter the text in the search fieled
again.
This became a problem in jfw 9 with the creation of auto formsmode on and
the associateing sounds.
JFW also has serious problems figuring out window layers.
If I have notepad openned it seems to get in the way of other windows even
though they are in focus.
Same goes when I have an email message open in OE.
But really folks, are you surprised?

Subject: [jawsscripts] why is jaws soooo poor at reading installation
dialogs?
anyone care to comment, on whether they feel jaws is particularly poor, at
auto reading many pop up dialogs, that often accompany installations? and
in particular, seemingly almost constantly, the last step, where the box is
reporting "ready to install," where the next button alters to the install
button? Just has seemed to me for ages that jaws is particularly bad at
this? and, also, a huge beef I have also, is just how incredibly poor Jaws
seems to me to be, at handling the manual Box read functionality of jaws+B?
my vibe is they haven't touched that script in donkeys years, and that it
just surely could be made a whole lot smarter and cleaner than it is? anyone
mess with it much? it just constantly double/tripple reads things, reads
buttons first and the information last, and doesn't read some dialogs/window
at all, claiming it's not in a dialog, ... etc?
if it can't be made to automatically do well, then it just seems insult to
injury that it does so poorly, to my mind/experience anywayz, at handling
intuitive manual reads?
thoughts?
