I agree.

Fortunately, JAWS creates a restore point when it updates and I just updated
last week so it was easy to roll back -- at least on this home machine. Not
sure it'll be that easy on my work computer.

P.S. JAWS Technical Support has heard an earful! <grin>

Mike et al:

I have talked to two assistive technology specialists here at work, and they
both have experienced the same problems as you and I with the most recent
JAWS 13 update.  That is where after logging in on a web page, when the next
page comes up, you hear parts of both and it is difficult to proceed.
Sometimes a screen refresh, insert-escape clears it up, sometimes you can
route JAWS to PC on some text from the new page, and get it to clear -- and
sometimes not.

I guess we just need to complain.  They should have caught this one via
testing.

Dave
