[nfbcs] jaws b.t.s.

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

There is a way, in the accessibility settings of Windows, to adjust how long tooltips are displayed.

As tooltips are pop ups, I do not think that there is a solution to that problem.

Hi all --
I have been using jaws since 3.0 and have always had a problem getting it to spell the current line or alternatively let me route to pc cursor so I can arrow around and read the line.
It is a big problem when I am on a screen that contains tooltips, as jaws won't freeze the full text of the tooltip to give me a chance to spell it out.
Other examples are in the UI of WMP where I try to read the title of the current directory. I arrow up to the top element, then go up a level with shift-tab.
jaws reads the name, as requested, but when I do a say line, it behaves like i have moved to a completely different part of the screen.
 any ideas welcome.
I do get some success by virtualizing the screen, but even that is iffy.
tx in advance!
