[nfbcs] Trouble with Google

[Fred Wurtzel]

Hi Mike,

I use JAWS at work and WE at home.  JAWS loses focus maddeningly.  I rarely
have this problem with WE.

Warm Regards,

Fred

Tracy:

In part, losing focus is a windows problem, not a JAWS problem. I'm not
letting JAWS off the hook entirely but given the complexity of software
these days, it's becoming harder and harder to know definitively what ought
to have focus.

Thanks Nicole.
I recently went from Jaws 7 to Jaws 14.  Some things are better, but Jaws 14

seems to lose focus a lot, and that's not good.
