Subject: Re: sometimes jaws not working with chrome

 

Okay, I have the problem in Chrome.  I use JAWS-T and hear "Title is WSJ:  IRS…" It does not announce it is Chrome.  I refreshed the page using F5 without change.  I updated the page using JAWS-esc without change.  I cannot navigate by headings using the letters H, F, G.  I can navigate the page using arrow keys.  I am at a loss (shrug)  If I close Chrome and open Chrome with JAWS-T I hear "Title is New Tab Google Chrome"    

 

I am at a loss.

I will have to do it again the next time it happens.  I can't recall at this moment if it said Chrome or not.  Sorry.

Hello:

 

Did you hear that the title was Chrome or something else? If not Chrome, then the focus went somewhere outside of the Chrome universe.

Hi,

 

It just happened again.  I used JAWS-T and heard the "title is….  I tried to navigate using H for headings and just heard "h"  I tried ALT-tab to switch programs.  Again I could not navigate by headings, which I am confident are present.  I refreshed the page with no change.  After I unloaded and re-loaded JAWS it behaved normally.  I am using the most recent Chrome browser and JAWS 21 on a Win10 laptop.

I wonder if it is JAWS not detecting that Chrome is in focus?

When it next happens, please someone do a JAWS Key and T and tell us what it reports. I’ll do the same if it happens to me.

 

All the best

Steve

It just happened, and I tried James' suggestion of pressing Alt + Tab to leave chrome and then Alt + Tab to go back to chrome. It worked. Thanks James. Does anyone know why it works?
