I haven't, no. But, I did come across something rather peculiar. It actually started with 7.1, but figuring it would be solved with 8.0 as it might have been something to do with the changes they made with JFW's handling of HTML, I didn't bother to bring it up. However, it not having been fixed I figure it might be best to see if it's just a problem I'm having. Occasionally, loading internet explorer will seem to produce a blank page. That is, according to the virtual cursor, the page is entirely blank, but the JAWS cursor says otherwise, and IE looks like it's finished loading the page. Closing and reopening IE usually fixes the problem, but it's so intermittant that I always have to be ready to close the program again if it starts up. It doesn't matter what page I open IE to... it does it with Google too at times, and that's my default home page. I've tried all the tricks and whatnot I can think of to fix the problem permanently, and it still shows up... it actually showed up last about 5 minutes ago when I needed to pay a couple bills. Probably not critical, but man is it irritating.

Hi all!
I recently installed Jaws 8 on both my desktop and laptop computers, and I'm noticing something strange whenever I try to search for anything on google. If I open google and type in a search term and hit enter, instead of bringing me to the search results page, I am returned to the google home page as if I hadn't typed any search terms at all. I am assuming that is some sort of bug in JFW 8, since it happened on both computers after I installed it. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks!
Allison
