Latest Jaws and some issues
|
Jim L
Heya folks,
Running the latest Jaws 15 update on a Windows 7 64 home PC am getting a couple of weird issues that I want to share with the group and also see if this is happening to others also. In firefox I load up a group of websites every morning as I have done for years since this Jaws update, the firefox tabs load up all over the shop and not in the order they have been saved and as all previous versions of Jaws have loaded them, also I tried NVDA with my firefox tabs and they worked normally so I uninstalled the new updated version 15. 06025 of Jaws and then reinstalled 15.05056, I now can access my saved TABS in firefox as before as the new update had them allover the shop and changing as each paged loaded up. There was a mention on tabs but to be honest this new release has more Braille related updates than ones involving the Jaws speech, also another issue is Jaws changes voice tone when reading emails in Office 2010, so am now back with the previous version of Jaws 15.05056. Cheers, Jim

I've certainly noticed some issues with FF and the latest jaws update:

I don't use tabs if I can help it, and have my homepage set to blank, so FF loads to an empty tab set for me. With prior jaws versions I used to be able to type right away, that the cursor was in the address bar. Now I am pretty sure the cursor is actually still in the address bar, but it is as if the scripts don't quite detect that until I do something else (like alt tab away from FF then back, or tab to the search bar etc) As an example, if I start a FF window and type 'g' before it would begin the completion process and come up with 'gmail' with the latest jaws update the g triggers the virtual document crawl looking for a graphic (which it of course does not find).. Also, I've noticed that there seem to be problems detecting the active document, I will right click select open in a new window, immediately hit alt-tab to go back to the source page and jaws will often think the new window is active, rather than the source window. I have also encountered cases where I switch away from FF to some other program and jaws does not detect that Firefox is no longer the active program (my FF voice settings remain active, for example). To the point that if I hit jaws + ctrl +s the program that would be alters is firefox even though some other program had focus.

They still haven't fixed that bug introduced in the prior version update

with Jaws not announcing unread messages in Outlook 2010. Now I'm noticing too that Jaws will say "zero items" when going through messages also in Outlook 2010. Mostly at the end of every email and sometimes at the beginning and then nothing else is read as far as header information goes.

Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
I'm going to pose a question here that I am also raising with FS. SMA aside, if you're a Windows 7 user, with no desire to upgrade in the near future, what is the incentive for JAWS 15? Is it an upgrade in search of a purpose?

Great phrasing of the question. Please post FS's response. Everything I've read on this list has dissuaded me from installing JAWS 15.
