virtual cursor activating automatically when replying to an Outlook email message
|
Amy Bower
I posted this problem once before, but it’s getting worse and I still don’t have a solution. I do have more information though. This happens when I use control+r or control+shift+r to reply to an open email message in Outlook 2016 (this happens with both Jaws 2018 and Jaws 2019, but inconsistently in both cases). When I start to type my reply, Jaws acts as if the virtual cursor is enabled, and I tested recently and discovered that in fact the virtual cursor *has* been enabled without me activating it. So naturally, when I start typing, Jaws acts as if the virtual cursor is on because it is on. But how does it get turned on when I didn’t turn it on? Any ideas? Thanks. -Amy

Hello Amy, Yes. I experience the same issue. What does freedom scientific and technical support have to say about it? Thanks, Darrell

Hi.
This happens to me sometimes too, though not consistently. Basically when you are reading a message, the virtual cursor is on by default if it’s an html message. When you hit reply and start typing, sometimes it doesn’t switch off. Hit insert-z and it should turn off.

Amy, Virtual cursor is active with html or web format. Often e-mails come through in html although you can choose to send in plain text.

Hi,
I don’t see it, but make sure the correct Outlook script file is loaded by pressing JAWS Key+Q.
All the best
