[blindlaw] Losing Place on Web Page

Hi Nikki,

You could try calling freedom scientific to figure out this problem, but chances are they will say something stupid like that it's not an issue with their software, but some kind of third party software issue. I've been pretty upset about their customer service. If a government program hadn't covered the tab, I doubt I ever would have purchased this software. 

Kind regards,
Ben Fulton

I am using IE 11 and JAWS 2018. Does JAWS now work with Chrome?

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 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.
