problem. Loosing focus goes back several versions in different applications. The earliest version of Jaws was back in version 6 that this problem started showing up for me. Sometimes you can alt+tab a time or more to get rid of the problem. At times you are forced to shut Jaws down and restart it. In version 13/14 I'm noticed it the worst, where you are forced to shutdown and restart the computer to regain sound when reading messages in Outlook 10 with Windows 7 on an Hp computer. Considering I have had this problem on many different applications on my work computer I didn't even think about reporting the problem. Your Friend Dave -----Original Message-----

This happens to me often. I lose focus especially just after I've entered something, such as in an edit box. I haven't tried lately, but earlier this year, FS tech support said it's a windows problem. I did have a sighted person try the same action without using JAWS. No loss of focus. I hope someone on the list will have a fix, but I'm pretty sure it's an issue that JAWS needs to address.

Subject: Re: JAWS losing focus? Yes, Happens to me a lot, even if the page is completely loaded. Alt+tab a couple times, and even sometimes need to minimize IE and maximize again to get it focused. And I always have to press Ctrl+F6 to get out of the upper address/favorites/search section. Very easy to get stuck in that tar-baby of IE. And yes, it's frustrating. In some particularly severe cases I even need to use my JAWS cursor to find some text on the web page and press left click to "wake up" the page into focus. JAWS 13 and 14 both do this. Using IE8.

I am not sure how to fix this. When I am in a window say reading the web, JAWS would lose focus. I have to shift tab twice to get back to where I was. Anyone else?
