[nfbcs] Issue With JAWS and Windows 10

[Robert Spangler]

JAWS is horrible with Windows 10 and I think that everyone who has bought a
JAWS license needs to demand that these issues be fixed.  Windows 10 is
going on being out for two years.  NVDA works way, way better.
Unfortunately, though, NVDA does not work as well as JAWS with development
tools like Visual Studio, leaving JAWS the only option for most people on
this list I imagine.

Kathy,

I am having a good deal of trouble with JAWS 18 and to a lesser degree 17
with focus issues.  The most common problem is JAWS loosing focus.  However,
often I am finding that the information on a web page is incomplete even if
I wait a while until I ALT-TAB out and back into the window.  I have also
found that turning the virtual cursor off and back on with JAWS KEY and Z
will sometimes improve things.  Having recently moved from Window-Eyes to
JAWS, I may not be understanding everything I need to regarding JAWS, but I
am finding a lot with which to be frustrated even while finding some good
things.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 and have been having issues with
various web sites not reading properly.

 

I am using Jaws 18, latest version, windows 10, and IE11.

 

When I go to linkedin JAWS will not read anything but the menu items. Wen I
use JIRA, many times, JAWS will only read the page header. This occurs when
I try to create a JIRA Defect.

 

Any suggestions?

 

The only suggestion I received from FS was to use Control-TAB or F6, neither
of which worked.
