I've occasionally experienced this, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when. I definitely have noticed it on PLC (which is affiliated with Westlaw), but not every time I use the site. Do you have the option of using Chrome? That seems to work better for me. If it's installed on your machine, I recommend giving it a try. It's my default browser now. Good luck.

I guess I can place a bookmark where the main content begins. I am often jumping back and forth between a case and a wordprocessor, so having multiple bookmarks may be impractical as I continue reading through the case.

I’m not sure why you’re having this problem but as a JAWS user I can give you one solution that might help. 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 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.
