Mike,

That is truly strange. You were invoking the default dictionary with the 
Ctrl+Shift+d each time?

So in effect, your changes to the default.jdf file were not being saved?

Have you looked at the file itself in your user/settings/ENU folder to see if 
the modification date is indeed changed?

It's either a problem with the dictionary manager not making the changes, or 
that the file is not being saved, and that might point to a problem with admin 
rights, or the wrong folder location.

And FS can't help you with it?

  Hi Dave;

  I couldn't add to the default dictionary most of the time.  Then all of a 
sudden it would work properly and then all of a suddenwham, no go!  
Unfortunately the no go was more often than the go!  Take care.

with tech support."

    What is this issue?

      Hi Sugar;

      My issues started from day 1 of the first build/ version of J11.  As they 
updated J11 things seemed to get better but, although the loss of focus doesn't 
happen quite as often, J11 still loses focus regularly.I have spoken to tech 
support & written my complaints but, since they can't duplicate the problem 
they can't or won't help.  As I stated earlier this happens on more than 1 
computer & more than 1 operting system.  I don't use my computer all the 
heavily so I don't think it's an issue of having to many processes or windows 
open.  1 other thing about J11 that I have never been able to get answer for is 
the default dictionary issues I have in all builds even though I could 
duplicate the problem while in a tandem session or on the phone with tech 
support.  Okay, enough of the rant.  LOL  Take care.
      Mike

          Hi Shannon, Dave, & Chris;

          I have this problem on a regular basis!  For , no reason!  It will 
happen just by doing something as simple as clicking on something on the 
desktop.  When I invoke the Jaws key, windows key, + F4 keystroke, then when I 
try to restart any version of Jaws with its respective hotkey, no version of 
Jaws will load.  I have to do a hard shutdown & reboot before I get Jaws back 
again.  I had this happen while I had Freedom Scientific on the phone for a 
different reason and they couldn't figure out / explain why it would do this 
either.  I thought, at first, that I would be very happy with J12 but, it seems 
to be doing the same old crap the J11 did!  Losing focus & just quit working 
while attempting the simplest of tasks'.  I have written them & spoken with 
them, to no avail.  Hopefully somehow this activity, or lack of, will get 
cleared up.  Oh, by the way, this is happening on 2 different desktop computers 
running XPSP3 Home, 1 laptop running XPSP3 Pro, & 1 desktop computer running 
XPSP3 MediaCenter.  Take care.
          Mike
