I'm not able to reproduce the problem right now but it has happened to me 
before.  See my other message.  

I never could figure out what I'd just done to bring it about.  Thanks for the 
clue.  I think I have had trouble with amazon.com but not often enough to 
notice the pattern.

Bob

  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?
