Jamal, there is some kinda weird interaction between EdSharp &
Firefox--I dunno what browser Laura is using, but, periodically,
EdSharp will read "download complete", or "launch open folder" like
it's reading a Firefox status window. Closing ff doesn't usually help.
Sometimes I gotta unload jaws or close EdSharp. I've particularly
noticed in this last version that there are just times when cursoring
in the document fails to work & exiting is the only cure for that. So
I can't confirm what Laura says as I've never had EdSharp's help come
up but I can confirm some weird interaction between EdSharp & other
programs.
