Rahul,

I described at length some time ago issues I was having regarding your first problem, my reaching out to Microsoft, and how they fixed it in the 2020 version. So I suspect that upgrading would help. I haven't had issues with revisions being underreported since the huge overhaul in July--I'm not sure which version that was. I suggest sending a document to the disability address at Microsoft, but I almost guarantee you that they will first tell you to upgrade to the latest version of Jaws.
