There's one website I use regularly that constantly renews and for which I can't find a fix. In that case, I go to the beginning of the article I wish to read, then copy from that point to the bottom of the page and put the contents in an email. Hardly ideal, but it saves a lot of frustration.

Hello,

I did disable the 'page refresh automatically' feature as Adrian
suggest, but I'm still facing the same problem.
I essentially have to go back to where I was at least 5-10 times on
average while reading any article.
Is there anything else that I can do to fix this?
Any help would be immensely appreciated.

If Adrian's method does not work, an easy solution, but certainly not a fix,

is to set a bookmark at certain intervals by pressing "Control+Windows+K",
and if your computer jumps back to the top of the page, simply press the
letter K to jump back to the last bookmark that you set. At least this will

save you from having to navigate the entire web page to find where you
were.

hth,
Mike

In the JAWS settings center, arrow down to "Page refresh automatically."
You can cycle through the options with the spacebar. Try selecting "off"
and see if your experience improves.

Hi All,

I'm using JAWS 13 on my Windows 7 laptop.
So, while reading articles, posts, etc, the cursor often
automatically jumps to the top of the page. As a result, I often
have to re-read the whole thing from the very beginning.
Is there any way to prevent the cursor from losing focus and jumping
around the webpage?
This is really very frustrating. Any help would be really appreciated.

Best,
Rahul
