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.

JAWS Settings: One common settings folder, two computers
I have two computers that I use JAWS with. Currently, they each have their own settings folder on their local harddrives. Is it possible to have them pull from a common settings folder in the cloud?
