Hi guys,

I've been experiencing this with Jaws 9 also, and in my case it doesn't have 
to involve the Jaws cursor at all. What happens is that I'll have been on a 
Web page, but then alt tab into Outlook Express and begin to write a new 
message, and when I get into the message area to begin typing, Jaws will 
start speaking things from that Web page I was last at. I told this to John 
Carson too, and of course he said the same thing. No, I can't make it happen 
every time, as he would prefer. And I'm sorry he can't reproduce it on his 
machine while we consult on the phone. But it's certainly real.

Hi,

I have jaws 9, IE 6, on an XP pro system. Every now and then I will have
something like this, but it happens  in outlook express. Usually it will say
the last thing I had focus on in IE, even if IE is closed. the only problem
is that I have not been able to recreate each individual problem repeatedly.
They are just so intermittent that it is hard for me to recreate.

I spoke to John Carson at Fs about this. At that time this quirky thing had
only happened a couple of times and I just thought it was me. Plus I could
not remember exactly what I had done or duplicate it repeatedly. he stated
if it happens again, especially if I could duplicate it every time, then
definitely drop Fs a note and give as much details as possible for a
possible fix in the future.

I say that anyone that is experiencing this, gather accurate notes and drop
FS a message. The more people that report it the better chance of it getting
fixed.

Hi,

Ever since I started using Jaws 9, I've noticed that sometimes the jaws
cursor will not read what is on the screen correctly.  It will sometimes
read parts of a screen I was on previously instead.  For example, sometimes
when I am trying to use the jaws cursor to read iTunes it will instead read
a web page I was on a few minutes ago, even if internet explorer has been
closed and the iTunes window is maximized.  Unloading and restarting Jaws
seems to fix the problem.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Eric
