Gary,
Just tried it, and I'm sorry to report that I don't have the same experience
with it as you have. XP Pro, 32-bit, JAWS 11.0.1447, IE7. I launched
www.amazon.com and after the screen settled down I gave it a try.
Note that I do use the IEMax scripts, but I don't think that has an effect.
Ah-ha! I disabled IEMax, and I do see the very same symptoms. I use Insert+F7
to bring up the links list, and then Escape. Pressing the numpad + key I hear
PC cursor, and using the arrow key indeed says "no window is active" and I need
to press the tab key to get the virtual cursor back. You hit on it, for sure!
I also noted in Amazon that when I first enter the web page, and I tab through
all that crap at the top to get to the page, the cursor stops before it enters
the page and the tab key will not work. I need to use the arrow key to move
into the actual web page and then the tab key works again. Have you seen this,
as well?
Now I'm going to turn IEMax back on, since it all works better when those
scripts are active.
Dave

After doing a little more experimentation, I've found that the problem is
more general. Any JFW dialog that I pop up over a large web page will cause
the Virtual Cursor mode not to return unless I am activating a link that takes
me to another page or I press Tab a time or 2. I have observed this behavior
on AMAZON.COM as well as the other 2 sites I mentioned. AMAZON.COM is a
complex page with many links, and is the type of page to check for this
behavior on your systems. I would be interested to know if others are seeing
this behavior. Just bring up a dialog such as the Links List or the dialog
that lists the icons in the System Tray, and press Escape to exit the dialog.
Press the Plus key on your keypad to see if JFW speaks Virtual Cursor or PC
Cursor. It should say Virtual Cursor. Try it on
www.amazon.com
or
www.audible.com
If you try it, tell us the version of Windows and the browser you are using,
since this may make a difference.

Sounds as if we're all crapping out with this 11.

A problem I had with JFW a few versions ago has returned. Using the
latest version of JFW, the Virtual Find command invoked with Control+f doesn't
work on large web pages such as AUDIBLE.COM and Zap2It. JFW doesn't return to
Virtual Cursor mode after entering text to find and pressing Enter. I can work
around the problem by pressing Tab, which seems to restore the Virtual Cursor.
Then I can press F3 to find my text.
This all seems very familiar since my bug report to FS when it happened
before was similar to what I wrote here. They eventually fixed it, but as
usual, they broke it again. Reminds me of the "Reply to Sender" script, which
they break on a regular basis. Has anyone tried that one with the latest
version of JFW?
