Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 10:45 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: System Tray Icons Hi, I've had this problem though primarily with the Select A System Tray dialog box. Jaws has a difficult time correctly placing focus in this window for some reason. About 70% of the time I can reliably select the firstor second option in this window. Anything below that and Jaws doesn't properly select the item that Jaws is reading. The only way I've been able to reliably access the System Tray is by accessing it on the task bar and I do it this way: 1. Open the Start Menu 2. Hit escape. 3. Tab over to the System Tray button. Jaws will only say button here. You'll know you've passed it if you hear Jaws say Desktop. 4. Press Spacebar. 5. Now you can either arrow down to the item you want or press the first letter of the desired item. Then you can either hit Enter on it to perform what is essentially a double-left mouse click or you can press the context-menu button to perform a right-mouse click function. Note: I know this sounds dumb, but you have to do this correct the first time. If you Tab over to the system tray button, press the spacebar and then accidently press the left or right arrow key, or even if you tab again after having selected the button, it seems to mess everything up. To correct it, I'll Alt-Tab a couple of times, refresh the screen, then start the process all over again. It's a hassle, I know, and I really wish Freedom Scientific would address this problem with the System Tray. If Insert-F11 can't work reliably, then why even have the feature?
