    Could it be that they are at a loss themselves and they just don't know
what to do?

Cy,
 
What I've noticed with MS Outlook (and reported to FS) was that the status
bar get cluttered with pieces of text from the various messages that appear
there. It requires restoring and maximizing the screen to clean this up.
However as soon as a new set of information appears  it starts happening
again. This has been going on since MS-Outlook 2007 came aboard and with all
versions of JAWS.
 
Here's an example of my status bar right now:
 
1 Itemsms This fThis fol PrSSWaitAll folders are up to date.Trying Connected
to Microsoft Exchangeto MicrosOut of Office 
 
As you can see, it's a mess. If I just restore/maximize I now get:
 
1 Item All folders are up to date. Connected to Microsoft Exchange Out of
Office 

 
But it will get messed up again real soon.
 
I just turned off my Out of Office status and now it reads:
 
1 Item All folders are up WaitAll folders are up to date.MicrosoConnected to
Microsoft Exchange 
 
Anyone else noticed this behavior? It's almost as though the off-screen
object model is not correctly picking up the changes, but since it's
actually on the real screen, it may be a problem with MS-Outlook. Happens
with XP Pro, Any JAWS, Outlook 2007.
 
And yes, it's been reported to FS long ago with no result.
 
Dave
