Ok, did also install latest jaws 11 update in last week or so, so could
definitely be related/the cause, and means probably just didn't notice it
immediately.

I do not think so. Although I am interested in COBRA, I have not tried it
yet. I have experienced this problem a lot. It has been happening while I
use either JAWS 11 or JAWS 10! It started immediately after installing the
latest JAWS 11 update. Freedom Scientific must have made a change to the
Share Components for JAWS 10 to be affected as well. I have reported this
to FS. It happens only occasionally just opening a new window. However,
it happens every time in a few circumstances. It seems to be a focus
problem. Someone determined that the focus moves to the title bar, which
would match the awkward way to return to the place you were. This behavior
happens every time that I use Tab browsing. For instance, I like to review
RSS feeds by pressing the 2 key to read the headlines and then press
Control + Enter on a headline I am interested in. It then opens that
article in a new Tab in the background, then I can continue on through the
rest of the headlines. This focus issue makes it difficult to move on
because the focus is screwed up every time! I also get this focus issue
every time a JAWS script I wrote which ends up opening a browser window
logging in to the site and perform a search. The script still works but
when completed, the focus is lost. This last scenario will not effect most
people because they are not using my scripts.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Question relating to what I think might be
partof cobra
Since/around the time I installed the demo version of the cobra screen
reader, when I now open a link from an email, or a web page in a new
window using, for example, shift + enter in the webpage, I now seem to
have to alt + tab back to the original source, and then alt + tab to the
new one to get it focused on, and once or twice I have found, using
either NVDA, or jaws 11, that there seems to be a window called something
like AudioData getting/taking focus for a very short time period, but
this isn't around for very long as such, and since I see that, for
example, cobra had added a part of itsself to the startup list in the
configuration manager, I was wondering if anyone else had experienced
something similar since although unchecked that part of cobra from
startup, this minor irritation is still happening, and around the only
other change have made is installing a newer version of the gomplayer
multimedia player software, but, for example, I disabled the toolbar it
had added to internet explorer, for example, and don't think that would
really have had that same effect, since guessing this is something like
cobra trying to somehow populate it's version of a virtual buffer or
something although I find this while it's not even actively running...?
Anyway, like said, was just wondering if anyone else had noticed
something like this, since it really seems to have occured from around
when I installed cobra.
