Gary- You're making me wonder... I've had an intermittent problem with my new
computer when the menus would just start going nuts- opening, clicking,
highlighting all over the map- with no ability to stop it with the keyboard or
enter keyboard commands because everything was moving so fast. The only way we
stopped it was to use the physical mouse to click somewhere outside the menus.
Could this be an example of what you're describing?

Doug,
You may have the JAWS cursor tethered to the PC cursor. Hold down Control
and the JAWS key and press Keypad Minus. Hopefully, you will hear the
message "JAWS cursor will not follow PC cursor." When the mouse pointer
hovers over a menu, it will cause the behavior you are describing.
