[blindlaw] Revisions not showing up in virtual viewer

[sy.hoekstra at gmail.com]

I also don't use track changes to an extent where I need the virtual viewer.
But when spelling mistakes won't show up there, I generally can just use the
quick keys for a mistake or two, and then try the virtual viewer again. It
often works when I do it that way.  I'm using JAWS 17 and Windows 7 or 10.

But yes, it is a bug that should be reported. It's just tough to report
because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to replicate it. It seems
to just happen randomly.

I've experienced this as well.  My firm actually discourages use of
track-changes, though, so when I get a document that incorporates them, I
accept all changes and use our document management software to generate a
"blackline" of the document. With JAWS set to read attribute and font info,
the blackline is generally quite accessible. I also can use the text
analyzer feature in JAWS to navigate the blackline more quickly. 

I realize this isn't particularly helpful to you if you don't use Imanage or
some other document management solution with similar features, but I thought
I would mention it anyway, in case it's helpful to you or to someone else. I
have to admit to guilt in not reporting my track-changes issues to FS. They
are easier to ignore when you have another workable solution, but I should
probably report them. 

Best of luck to you.
