That focus issue has been a bigtime problem with Jaws. I?ve noticed it from
version 11 and up. You can try disabling the focus loss announcement in the
adjust jaws settings, but even then, in my experience at least it doesn?t
really help.

Subject: Jaws losing focus.
Hello to all,
I'm using Jaws 11 with Windows 7. I'm finding, however, that, although Jaws
is running pretty well, several times during the workday, it will lose focus
during system navigation, for example, alt-tabbing to another window, going
to the desktop with Windows key-m, getting into the start menu, etc. I get
a message saying lost focus, alt-tab. That doesn't necessarily bring things
back into focus.
There are also times when Jaws isn't reading everything it should, for
instance a current line, or letting me know a web page is pulled up. In
that instance, when arrowing, I get the window title but hear blank, blank,
blank, when sighted coworkers can see the page. The only remedy I've found
is to completely close Internet Explorer and re-open the page.
Are there some Jaws settings I can change to make it run more smoothly?
I've also been told by AT that there aren't any display issues affecting
Jaws performance. I've also tried unloading and reloading Jaws, but does
not help.
Thanks for any advice.
Judy
