I've had few of the problems some JAWS users have reported with JAWS 8, except for little annoyances like JAWS saying buttons aren't available when, in fact, they are. However, this latest JAWS update has created a new problem in OE. When I go down a list of incoming messages, beginning with the earliest received, JAWS goes silent after the second or third message I delete. I'm referring to the process of reading a message, deleting it, and having the next one open. To get JAWS speaking again, I find I need to press alt-tab out of the message before going back in.
This experience of JAWS going silent is erratic. Sometimes JAWS does read the next message.
One more factor. When I go into the task manager with alt-control-delete, I'm finding that this updated version of JAWS seems to be using even more memory than previous JAWS 8 updates. After I close JAWS to get its memory usage back to a basic level, the OE silence problem occurs less frequently, though it's still present.
Agreed, I should report the problem to FS, but I'm wondering if others are experiencing this same behavior with JAWS 8.0.2107.
