Hi Chris, Well, it never did, before, or else AVG just started popping up this balloon, for which I'm not put out with them, but it would be nice to know how to disable it. Have any idea? Either for disabling that display or, alternatively, for fixing Jaw's focus so it doesn't get fooled? thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Jenkins" <saveup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 2:57 PM Subject: RE: Jaws 8 interrupting email reading/writing with AVG email scan announcements Hello Daniel. I suspect jaws for Windows is reporting the message balloon. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Yardbird Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 5:39 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Jaws 8 interrupting email reading/writing with AVG email scan announcements P.S., while waiting to hear if anyone recognizes this problem. It happens whether or not my message window is maximized at the moment. And, I was wrong to think it was a message that was on the status line. I was confused when I thought that. It's just a ghostly intrusion right in the message I'm writing as I'm writing it. Weird. I've just switched back to my Jaws 7, which has been great for more than a year. I'll try to fix these new issues soon if I get some help. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Yardbird" <yardbird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "JFW List" <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 12:03 PM Subject: Jaws 8 interrupting email reading/writing with AVG email scan announcements Here's another interesting thing Jaws 8 is doing that's never before happened to me. as I was composing and spell checking an email a moment ago, I kept being interrupted, and the Jaws focus kept being dislodged, by an announcement that, I suppose, AVG was running some sort of email scan. I can only imagine it was telling me that some new messages were coming into my Inbox and it was scanning those for my protection. But wherever on the screen those messages would actually be appearing if I could see them (it's hard to believe they're printing themselves right into my email message, of course), Jaws never before spoke them at all, which was okay with me, if this is the stupid alternative. I have to confess that while this was happening, I was so disconcerted that I can't remember now whether when it happened I was writing or spell checking with the message window maximized or not. Jaws 8 is a little eccentric about this for me, and I'm just learning when it's actually necessary to maximize the window and when things will work okay without bothering to do that. But it could make some sort of difference in terms of Jaws having its focus pulled away . I mean, if I'm in the reduced-size message window, and something comes up elsewhere on the screen, I suppose it might pull the Jaws focus away. But even then, I've never had it happen so that something simply intruded on what I was doing, as if the AVG message, in this case, was actually inserting itself in the message I was composing. I know that wasn't what was happening, of course, but I've never before had Jaws screw up by sort of sharing focus between where I was working and some other screen element. Very strange. Any good ideas? Thanks. P.S. It's not happening right now, while I'm writing this message,but I just pressed Insert down arrow to read the status line, and there's the AVG notice right alongside the new, overly informative stuff about how my POP 3 server is downloading some mail. Jaws's focus in OE has gotten a little wild, this version. things like that come up on the status line and then won't go away, even though I perform other email tasks that should be displacing that information.But that's sort of an extension of this problem, I guess, unless it's a clue to something? Not keen enough to figure it out by myself. Foocus issues, I mean. soto ou -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
