Strange right click behavior

Gene Warner #102065 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! Gene...

JM Casey #102106 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. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Gene Warner Sent: November 1, 2022 03:44 PM To: JAWS support list <main@jfw.groups.io> Subject: Strange right click behavior Hi everyone!

Gene Warner #102108 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.

JM Casey #102112 Hey. Again might seem obvious but I was going to suggest that you make sure your message window is maximised as well. toggle quoted message Show quoted text -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Gene Warner Sent: November 2, 2022 11:22 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Strange right click behavior I get around it with an even easier work around, I just down arrow once.

Gene Warner #102117 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! Gene... toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 11/2/2022 11:54 AM, JM Casey wrote: Hey.
