There is an article out there to help. Do a search for all version of jaws since this problem used to occur in 5.0 I think. I have had had this happen to me to in 7.0 though it is not so common.

For example I have a keystroke in word that will move me between sections in my document: alt+down arrow. When I press just my arrows alt+down arrow is pressed although I just pressed the down arrow. Then when I press the alt key or the first time nothing happens. When I press it the second time it activates the menu bar and when I press it a third time it deactivates the menu bar. I must do this very frequently to release my alt key. Any help on how I can fix the alt key permanently?
