[blindlaw] Losing Place on Web Page

[Brian Unitt]

What browser are you using? I am using chrome with the latest update for JAWS 2019, and I am not experiencing that problem.

Hi Nikki,

Yes, I experience the same problem as you described. It’s very frustrating when I’m looking at a case on Westlaw and I switch over to word to write some notes, and then the JAWS focus is back at the top when I return to IE. I also started to notice this rather recently… But I can’t remember when.

You can put a temporary bookmark or placeholder whatever it’s called into the webpage before you switch out by using a controlled windows K command. This way if you lose your focus on the webpage when you go back into that window all you have to do is hit the letter K and it will bring you back to where you belong. I hope this helps you and fixes the problem until JAWS starts behaving the way it should

>> I am wondering if others are experiencing this while conducting work online. I am first on a given web page, maybe Westlaw, a treatise, or whatever else. I then switch over to email or to a Word document. When I bring my browser back into focus, JAWS appears to have lost its place on the web page, and I am right back at the top of the page. Needless to say, this is incredibly annoying, as I have to return to where I left off my work. I guess I could always copy and paste the contents of the web page to a separate Word document, which is my clumsy solution in the meantime, but I am just puzzled why JAWS cannot seem to remember where it was situated on the web page. I am not sure what is going on, so I am not sure how to go about resolving this. However, this did not happen before. I use JAWS 2018, IE 11 browser, and Windows 10, though I am not remembering exactly which version of 10 the firm installed on my laptop. any ideas would be appreciated.
