Moderated Strange right click behavior
Gene Warner
Hi everyone!
I have been experiencing some really strange behavior using JAWS 2022 and Thunderbird 91 on Windows 10.
While viewing a message in its own window, if I go to the beginning of the message (control+home) then press the application key, the context menu I get appears to be coming from Windows, not Thunderbird, but if I am any where else in the messagge, the context menu is from Thunderbird. Very strange.
Now the question is, is this something being caused by JAWS or is it a Thunderbird problem?
Thanks!

Hey.
Have definitely seen this sort of thing happen before, especailly in browsers. Although you are not doing a simulated right mouse click when you hit the application key, it is still somehow linked to your mouse pointer, which may not be moving accordinglyw hen you hit ctrl-home. You could probably "fix" this by rooting jaws to pC and then hitting the applications key. At least, I think that might work.

I get around it with an even easier work around, I just down arrow once. I will have to try this using narrator to see if it is a Thunderbird bug or something specific to JAWS.

Hey.
Again might seem obvious but I was going to suggest that you make sure your message window is maximised as well.

Apparently, my message windows open up maximized to begin with. And it seems that this behavior is intermittent because when I tried it on your message, it behaved properly. Just lovely!
