No, it's not you hovering, it's the mouse!
Westlaw uses something it calls "hover technology."  On its Website, to
reach "scrolling" text in a treatise, one must put the mouse over a
button and then "click" one of the options.  I can get (with sighted
assistance) the list to show up by putting the JAWS cursor over the
object, but the slightest move causes the menu to disappear.
None of the standard JAWS commands of which I am aware works, e.g.,
forms mode, alt down arrow, shift F-10, clicking on the object, right
clicking.
Anyone else encounter this beastly "hover" technology?
