[nfbcs] odd jows behavior in command window

[John G. Heim]

Great minds think alike I guess. The reason I asked for confirmation of this
problem is that Freedom Scientific says they cannot reproduce the bug. Of
course, they always say that. I suppose I shouldn't criticize Freedom
Scientific's tech support. Compared to your typical technology company,
Freedom Scientific's support is first rate. Still, its annoying that every
time I've reported a bug, they say they cannot reproduce it. There have been
times when I have reported bugs that were confirmed by 5 or 6 other jaws
users. Yet they say they can't reproduce it.

Anyway, Cygwin essentially runs in a command window. In fact, the real
reason I reported the command window bug was that openSsh, which is related
to Cygwin, also has this bug. I don't think there is much point in reporting
a bug for Cygwin or openSsh. They are just going to say they don't support
those apps. But looks as if this bug effects all Win 7 command window apps
and I'm thinking if we get them to fix the bug for the command window, it
will automatically fix Cygwin and openSsh.

I don't use the Windows 7 command prompt, but JAWS 13 and Windows 7 with
Cygwin does the exact same thing. The two other extremely annoying problems
that I experience are that, if you edit in the middle of a line, JAWS reads
the entire line every time that you type or erase a character, and, when
reading character by character, JAWS is always one character off. Maybe
those of us who use JAWS with command prompt on a regular bases need to get
together to make a list of bugs and put them in some kind of formal letter
to Freedom Scientific.

Nicole and JAWS the talking shark that does not behave

Can anyone confirm the odd behavior I've been noticing with jaws 13 and the
Windows 7 command window? On my system, jaws is way too verbose in the
Windows 7 command window. I'd appreciate it if someone would try to
reproduce my problem. To do that, please open a command window and just
start typing. On my system, jaws often reads the entire line including the
prompt.  So if my prompt is "C:\Users\jheim>", if I type in a dir command,
jaws will say "C colon backslash users backslash jheim greater than dir".
