Changing the subject line here. I agree that Windows Live Messenger,
latest version, works well with JAWS, however does anyone experience
times where JAWS will refuse to read the history window? This is only
noticeable if you use the arrow keys to navigate the history window. All
JAWS says is "blank", or, it will read part of the history window and
blank for the rest. Refreshing the screen, maximizing the conversation
window, and/or closing multiple conversation windows can help, but if
anyone has better ideas, please share it with us as it can be
frustrating when you're chatting to someone and you discover that JAWS
misbehaves, grins, in the history window. Thanks!
