As mentioned in a previous message, the problem with the Virtual Cursor not
returning after invoking the Find command on some web pages had occurred on
this system before. It turns out that it was during the Public Beta process
for JFW 11. Users of IE8 reported that they did not have the problem, and I
decided to upgrade to that version. However, FS fixed the bug after I and
others reported it, and I never got around to upgrading. Now the problem's
back again with the latest build of JFW 11. I suspect that all of their
testing now is done in IE8, so users of earlier versions of Internet Explorer
will either have to upgrade or take their chances.

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?
