Hi all,
During the past few days, I have observed more closely at the virtual cursor 
issue. It appears that pages that are javascript-based seems to trigger the 
virtual cursor "bug". Why? Well, I turned off Javascript in Firefox's options, 
and JAWS seems to read web pages fine, however as soon as I turn it back on 
again the problem occurs. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this too? 
It seems that JAWS cannot handle javascript pages as well as it can handle 
non-javascript pages. Looking forward to receive any comments. Thanks!
