Chris,
 
FYI, I installed Outlook 2003 this afternoon and do not have that Outlook
2003 problem you describe, which must be very annoying. 
 
I pretty much gave up on Firefox with JAWS 10.

Using xp pro, with the new update, I'm noticing an over all sluggishness
from within Firefox and especially when in Google Reader. I have to press
enter or the spacebar more than once to get a link to activate and often,
the first time I do so on a link, Jaws takes me to some other part of the
page entirely. Frequently to the bottem of the page.

 

In outlook 2003, in the list box of messages when arrowing up or down, Jaws
now speaks the information such as from, subject, received etc twice before
speaking the first few lines of the actual e-mail. This behavior wasn't
present in prior versions of JFW. Being a member of multiple e-mail lists,
this particular issue is quite annoying as I can receive upwards of 300
e-mails in 1 day for example.

 

An issue with pressing spacebar on check  boxes and radio buttons from
within Firefox making Jaws lose focus and having to refresh the page in
order to be able to move around the browser again, but at the same time
losing my place still hasn't been fixed. This makes pages where there are
multiple check marks and radio buttons like gmail, expedia and other sites
nearly impossible to work with.

 

I like how they fixed up the research it feature a bit, but honestly, I find
the Jamal Mazrui version with the new IEmax scripts much more informative
and has many more search options than what FS currently offers.

Having installed the latest jaws 11 update on my windows 7 system, I'm
definitely noticing an increase in focus issues, can anyone else confirm
this?

Cheers

Alex
