Interesting. The tab key and insert f7 is a more efficient way to navigate to links if that's all you want to do. On the other, hand, you should be able to use the arrow keys as well to navigate through the page and all links and intervening text. this is an interesting bug indeed.

Hi, Prior to the update of this morning for JAWS 13, I simply used the arrow keys to the link I wanted and used the back arrow if I wanted to visit more than one link in a session at the site. Mitch

How were you navigating the links before this issue?

Thanks for expanding on the key combinations. I knew better and should have done likewise for newer users as using that JAWS key with F7 has become an automatic response.
In the end, this may be a quicker way to the links anyhow and since it works fine at the BARD site, I guess you could install the update now or wait as you intend. Mitch

Thanks for the kind word, Mitch. To avoid confusing anyone, the links list
key combo is JAWS key+F7. You get out of this links list either by
pressing
enter on the link you want or with the escape key.
Based on your report, I won't install the newest JAWS release until others
who have XP report their experiences.

Adrian to the rescue again.
He suggested using the F7 feature to create a list of links and this
worked
perfectly.
Never mind that it was unnecessary prior to this latest update but a
simple
enough fix assuming someone of my advancing age can retain this in memory.
:-)
Thanks again Adrian for your unselfish help to all on this list. Mitch
In those days he was wiser than he is now -- he used to
frequently take my advice.
