Re: Ideas why focus jumps or is lost?
Gene Warner
I am trying this but instead of using quick settings, I used the settings center (insert+6) while in Edge so that the setting would be for the browser and not for any specific web page as quick setting might do.

You can try the following but, this is only something to
try, I can't say it'll fix the problem.
This might be from the screen refreshing
automatically. If you open Jaws quick settings, Insert + V, while in
Chrome and type, refresh, into the search field the, Page Refresh, setting will
come up. Use the spacebar to toggle through the 3 options. They are
automatically, every 60 seconds and off.
After you make a change, if you indeed do, tab to okay
and press enter to save / close.

Ideas why focus jumps or is lost?
Mark
In another thread it was noted that sometimes in Chrome, JAWS loses focus or the focus suddenly jumps to the beginning of the page. I've noticed this too but don't have an idea of why it is happening. Is it because of some kind of application event adds content? I don't think it is random.

Re: Recycle Bin Question
Mike B.
Hi Tom,
Try the following:
1. Highlight the Recycle Bin desktop icon but, do not
open it, just select it.
Press, Alt + enter, to open the Recycle Bin icon
properties.
Now tab to, Display delete confirmation dialog, and make
sure this is checked. If it isn't, press the spacebar to check
it, tab to Okay and press enter to save / close.
After doing this I quit getting the cancel dialog and
only had to spacebar the yes button to confirm the deletion of the
recycle bin. But, the recycle bin won't show as empty until it's closed
and reopened.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Hi, Tom. When I inquired of Google, Why am I seeing a message that reads Cancel all transfers in Progress when I try to empty the Recycle Bin, I found the following,
Last night when I was trying to shutdown Windows 10 PC, I suddenly saw a small strange message box with a title “This will cancel all transfers in progress” and with a confirmation message “Are you sure you want to cancel the transfers?” but without any further explanation. When you search about this strange message box online, nothing much is available except some other people also wondering about this. The first thought that everyone asks is whether this is a malware. I myself became suspicious about malware infection and analyzed the window using many different tools. Why am I seeing this message? So what is this message about? It is a message displayed by Windows File Explorer. As anyone can imagine, it is displayed when you try to close Windows File Explorer process when some file operations are in progress. A very good scenario that I was able to repeat multiple times is when your computer’s storage drive has been idle for some time and then you suddenly start a file operation followed by system shutdown request. For example, you were watching a YouTube video for some time, then you think of shutting down the PC and going to sleep. So you quickly close the browser, proceed to empty the recycle bin, then on Windows desktop you hit Alt+F4 to bring the classic shutdown dialog and proceed to shutdown the Windows. You might see this strange message appear. How can I avoid this message in future? One way to stop this message is by increasing system RAM or replacing the existing RAM modules to larger capacity ones. This will ensure that your system uses RAM instead of virtual memory when some programs become too large to fit on the limited amount of RAM your system has. Microsoft recommends at least 8 GB of RAM if you want better performance from your system. If your system has a hard drive, then it could be part of the problem. You can start by upgrading to a solid state drive (SSD). When the hard drive has been idle and with disk caching enabled, it takes a few seconds for the hard drive to get ready and the file operation to be completed. Disk caching makes hard drive perform better because it buffers everything instead of actually writing to the hard drive. But this also means that the file operations are not instant and require a few extra seconds. If in the meanwhile, you start shutting down Windows, the file operations are incomplete and File Explorer might show you that strange message. There is nothing to be done really. But if you want to avoid seeing this message, then just wait half a minute after starting any file operations (especially related to emptying of the recycle bin because these operations are invisible) before shutting down the Windows. It seems to appear when you use classic shutdown dialog, so you should start using the new shutdown using Start menu in Windows 10.

Hello, everyone.
Recently, whenever I try to empty my re-cycle bin, I get a edialog asking me if I want to cancel all transfers in progress.
I can find the yes and no options, but when I hit enter or spacebar on the options, nothing seems to happen.
Then, if I totally exit out of the re-cycle bin and later go back in, the bin is totally empty.
Can anyone explain what might be going on here? I’m not even sure what these options mean and why they have recently appeared.
I’m using Jaws 2022 and Windows 10 here.
Thanks!

As of this date, my preferred one (and it's more than just an ad-blocker) is uBlock Origin (Chrome/Chromium Version) or uBlock Origin (Firefox - Author is Raymond Hill).

Re: Righ and left click
By the way, you can use the applications/context menu key if your keyboard has one, or SHIFT + F10 for right click and it's consistent in a way that the screen reader emulated version is not.

Re: Righ and left click
That depends on whether you're using desktop keyboard layout or laptop layout, but I'll list desktop first, laptop second:
Left Click NumPad Slash CAPSLOCK + NumRow 8 Right Click NumPad Star CAPSLOCK + NumRow 9 Emulated mouse clicks are inconsistent as far as when they do and do not work. I always advise my clients to use the real buttons, whether on a "hobbled mouse" (you tape over the optical port on the bottom so the mouse pointer cannot move when it's touched/moved) or a masked mousepad, where the trackpad portion is covered with a rectangle of cardboard so only the left and right mouse click keys are available. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L.

You are probably right about that, the hosts file only works when it is your computer that is requesting the ad, if an ad is pushed by the web page itself the hosts file won't block it.

But you have to realize that the screen reader makers themselves are not confining themselves to an ESR release, but to the ongoing production releases that go to the public. You can end up having some weird issues as the production versions advance and things that needed to be done to keep up with them "don't match up" like they used to with an ESR. These days, both JAWS and NVDA (and from what I have heard, Narrator) keep up with the latest releases of Edge, Firefox, and Chrome. There are always short windows where any one of those browsers may get ahead of what the screen reader developers can keep up with, but they're not frequent. They also tend to get resolved pretty quickly, as the only thing it makes sense for screen readers to ensure compatiblity with is what's actually the most current on the market. -- Brian - Virginia, USA - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy. ~ H.L.
