Hi, Albert. This is a problem with the current version of Chrome, and the only solution is to wait for a new update to Chrome, which hasn't come out yet.

Good evening everyone,
What are the steps for doing an update of Google chrome? It seems that on both on both mine, and my girlfriends computer, after I try and do a search we both receive a thing that says, alt left arrow too go back, and and right arrow too go forward. If I try using the H key too go from heading, too heading, it won’t advance too the next heading, or a shift H key won’t go back too a previous heading. I have too hit the escape key, which will turn off the virtual cursor. Is this something new that google chrome has implemented? |

Hi, Steven and list. INSERT plus F7 does work if the problem arises from the context menu being activated when clicking a link. The problem is that, not all clickable elements on a webpage are links. Some clickable elements are actually headings that don't show up as links. If the problem is with a heading that doesn't show up as a link, there is no other way of reaching this element other than tabbing to it, or arrowing to it. Thus, the problem must be solved in some other way. For example you might try turning off the Virtual Cursor with JAWS key plus Z to try and avoid the unwanted context menu behavior.

In Edge do this, press alt+F, then press H, then press A. Now arrow down to the line where it gives you the version number, if there is a new update it will tell you how far along it is, eventually you'll get a restart Edge button, press it and you are good to go.

Hi, Sandra. I can give you similar instructions for updating Microsoft Edge, but it won't help you until Microsoft puts out the next update.

1. Open Microsoft Edge. 2. Press ALT, followed by F B M. 3. Microsoft Edge will begin to update. Unlike with Chrome, you will get feedback as Edge updates. 4. Once Edge has updated, look for a "Restart Microsoft Edge button, and press ENTER on it. 5. I always close the browser, and reopen it in the normal way. If Microsoft Edge says that it is up-to-date, you will need to do this every day or so, until a new update comes out that will fix this context menu activation issue.
