Hi, David. You probably want to change the behavior of the ENTER key in
Microsoft Edge to send a left mouse click, now that Microsoft Edge has been
fixed. This is because some elements on a web page expect a left mouse
click, and won't activate with a simple Enter command, especially links that
show up as headings in JAWS, and don't show up as a link.

Thank you bill for that information on how to update chrome. It worked
for me. i also had success with changing the enter keys behavior to work as
the enter key should. Thank you for that as well.

Chrome just got updated for me about two minutes ago. The version to
expect is, Version 106.0.5249.103 (Official Build) (64-bit) It cured the
context menu activation problem.

I posted this in another thread, but I'll post it here so you don't have
to chase after it, I hope it helps you as it has me.

I first tried turning off the virtual cursor but didn't like the effect it
had, so I then tried changing the link activation option from simulating a
mouse click to sending an enter and it seems to have solved the problem for
me.

If you want to try this you can find it under Web/HTML/PDFs >
Miscellaneous in the settings center (JAWS+6).

I just tried the suggestion you posted, but unfortunately it hasn't
corrected the problem on my computer as of yet.

I confirm the problem has been fixed with today's chrome update, Didn't
encounter any unexpected context menu popups, or non activated links or
buttons on many websites with jaws 2023 beta and 2022. both work as
expected.
Just open the about page in Chrome and wait for a moment that should
update it automatically.
