[NFBCS] Weird JAWS Problem on Windows 10 with Text Editor

[Nicole Torcolini]

            I sometimes use a text editor called TeXnicCenter. It is made
for editing LaTeX, but I find it useful for other tasks. I have it installed
on multiple Windows 10 machines, all 64 bit, but JAWS only works with it on
one. On the other machines, JAWS will read the menus, etc., but it does not
recognize the main edit window as editable. If I select what I have written,
JAWS will read the selection, and the content is sometimes displayed on the
Braille display. This seems to be a problem in general with some part of the
display or something because I have noticed problems in other applications,
such as the JAWS cursor not reading anything. On the one laptop for which
JAWS does work, I had to uninstall and reinstall JAWS several times before
it worked properly. I tried that once on the other machines, but it did not
help, and I don't have time to keep trying something that is not helping.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? If not, does anyone have
recommendations for other text editors? I tried EdSharp, but, when I run a
code diff with the revision software, it seems that EdSharp has modified the
entire file instead of just the lines that I changed. Also, I tried using
NVDA with TeXnicCenter, but NVDA does not work with the Focus 80.
