[NFBCS] Potential Issue with Latest JAWS

[Glen Gordon]

Hi, Nathaniel,

This is not a display driver issue since JAWS gathers information directly from NP++. When it happens does the problem rectify itself naturally or do you need to Alt+Tab away and then back again.

The next time it happens, assuming that it continues past the first misspeak, turn on JAWS HomeRow mode by pressing Windows+JAWSKey+NumpadMinus (pressing it again will toggle homerow mode off).
Once in HomeRow mode,  while still in the state of NP++ not reading the line as you'd expect, press Ctrl+f12. This will gather some data and put it in the virtual buffer. Copy that text into an email message and send it to me off-list. ggordon at vispero.com. It might indicate what's stealing focus which is what I think may be happening. Not sure why that would have changed with the latest JAWS update.

Unless I am mistaken this sounds like a driver issue.  I would try
reinstalling jfw, rebooting, and see what happens.
