Yes, I have had this problem a lot.  I press F6 a few times till the Virtual 
screen is displaying correctly.  It's very annoying.

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.
