Subject: a JAWS bug in Excel


Starting with JFW 7.10, there has been a bug in JFW with Excel.  When editing a 
formula that has nested functions, JFW does not report the color of the 
parenthesis correctly.  Excel allows 7 levels of nested functions and the color 
of the parenthesis is different for each level.  Starting with JFW 7.10 through 
JFW 9 it reports only black at all levels.  

This may not be important to most people but it is to me.  They just can't 
update/upgrade without breaking something.
