   Enhancements in JAWS 13.0.638 (December 2011)

   The following is a list of items addressed or added between the final
   JAWS 13.0.527 release and the JAWS 13.0.638 posting.
   JAWS
   *Resolved issues with the Research It sports scores lookup sources
   where the expected results were not being returned whether you entered a
   specific date or not.
   *Addressed an issue with the Wiktionary lookup source not returning a
   definition if searching for a word containing uppercase letters.
   *Resolved an issue with the Time Search lookup source for Research It
   only returning the list of time formats you can use, however no actual
   results for your search were returned.
   *Updated the JAWS Help system to make it easier for users to locate
   firewall and ILM multi-user network authorization information. These
   topics can be found under Network JAWS and in the Index.
   *JAWS no longer says "selected" when using SHIFT+LEFT ARROW or
   SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW in ribbons to move between groups.
   *When performing a Say All using a setting other than the default Line
   without pauses, addressed an issue where JAWS would read the last line,
   sentence, or paragraph continuously until CTRL was pressed to silence
   speech.
   *JAWS is now less verbose when announcing the start or end of ARIA
   regions on Web pages.
   *When using Convenient OCR, the resulting text now remains available if
   you switch between the JAWS and Invisible Cursor. The text is removed
   when you activate the PC Cursor.

   edit field on the Talking Communities Webinar client login screen.
   *Resolved a customer reported issue where JAWS would speak part of the
   word just typed when pressing BACKSPACE and Typing Echo is set to
   Characters and Words.

   when doing a JAWS Find in a PDF document.

   cell.

   active, resolved an issue where pressing the END key would jump to the
   beginning of the field instead of the end of the line as expected.

   dialog box. You can configure personalized Web settings using Quick
   Settings (INSERT+V).

yep.


   the Text Links Show option in Quick Settings was set to Title.

   2010 that contain graphics.

   in the Calendar using the Day View.
