So you never hear "Jaws has lost focus. Press alt plus tab"? Is announce lost focus turned off in settings? I have been using Jaws for over 25 years on dozens of systems and it has always happened

I run a little program that automatically maximizes whatever screen / window that comes into focus and since I installed this little goodie I haven't had this focus loss problem. Stascom info below:

If the column is selected, alt-h-o-i will adjust to the widest cell; if not, it will adjust the width to that of the current cell, whether or not there are larger cells.

Brian, How much text will fit in a cell depends on the width of the column in which the cell resides. I don't believe Excel allows setting the width of individual cells. How text which takes more

Hi, I'm using jaws2020, with Windows 10 home. I also have a computer running windows10 pro, that I'm using jaws2020 with, and neither one have exhibited this issue Thanks, Jessica

Hello Jessica, What version of jaws are you using, is it home or pro, and what version of Windows are you using? Thanks! Kindest regards, Jaws18 home version with Win10 user, Hank

You make a good distinction. The problem isn't the notification, but the fact that it might be necessary. In my case, I don't get it often, and usually I can recognize something I did to cause it,

Jessica, I am glad you are not experiencing this issue. For those of us who do it remains quite annoying . 2020 version was better than 2019 but so far with the beta we have gone backwards.

Hello, I've never seen jaws do this in more recent versions, including the August update of 2020, which is currently ruoning on my elBraille, as I type. I believe this issue hasn't occurred since

You must select the column before doing this, otherwise it will adjust to the width of the current cell Thom

Yes, seems to be worse in 2021 beta although I will wait til final release before making an actual comparison. This has been a JAWS issue for some versions now. Dan

in addition, alt h o i will automatically adjust the width of a column of cells to the longest width according to the number of characters.

If you need a wider cell in a spreadsheet an option is to merge cells and you don't have to worry about word wrap. Generally I have found that if you are using the default cells across a row, you can

The default width for a cell is 8.11 characters. if there is more text, it spills over to the right into the next cell(s). There is a JAWS setting, cell text visibility I think, that when checked

depends on the width of the cell.

Actually, how much text Will fit in a cell? I’m told if you put too much text in a cell it just plain doesn’t look right

That item is unchecked for me, but I still get the announcement at times using Jaws 2021 beta. I'm not sure it is a bug to be told Jaws is lost, that is a good feature; However, the fact that Jaws

I have more focus issues with 2021 also. We should both make bug reports so they know they need to fix it!

You could press insert-V for the JAWS options dialog, type "focus" without the quotes and ensure that focus loss announcement is not checked. As Jessica asked giving us more info might help. Are you

Hi Ron, I'm not experiencing this issue. Could you tell us more about your system? What version of the Operating system are you running? Is it the home or pro version? Is your jaws
