OK, strange then, but glad it's working now.
Only other thing would have suggested you try otherwise would have been
another keyboard, plugged in externally if on a laptop, etc., but anyway.
For example, not relevant, but recently my mother and brother thought her
normal windows XP machine had problems, until I explained to them that as
soon as I changed keyboards, suddenly it was operating fine again since
seems that old keyboard had some physical issues - don't know exactly what
had happened to it to make it happen, but on the top row of the main part of
the keyboard, only the `/~ and backspace keys worked - everything inbetween
from the number 1 through to the =/+ sign did nothing at all.

hello there;
no, absolutely not!
there was no mention of any keylocked,at all,
I did use the insert+1=keyboard help,
and no indication at all.
oh well,
I have her back up and running, and jaws is behaving properly.

And so...when you turn on keyboard help using insert + number row 1, what
does it report for other keys like the cursor keys? does it report shift
key locked, or mouse button locked?

So, did you try those keystrokes to see if that's what's causing it...?
On just a laptop keyboard, they get handled a bit differently - if the
machine is set to laptop keyboard layout?
Another simple way to see if this might be causing it, is to turn on
keyboard help - insert/jaws key + number row 1, and then see what
keystrokes
it reports thereafter.

hello there;
yes, this selected behavior is apparent with both versions of jaws,
not sure what is causing this.

Jaws key + numpad / key will toggle the holding down of effectively the
left
mouse button, which could then do something like this.
Might not be the issue, but anyway.
Alternatively, sticky keys could have locked the shift key in place -
and
that gets activated by pressing something like the left shift key 5
times
in
a row.

good morning all;
a friend of mine is running windows7 jaws 11&12,
on a 64bit machine.
every time she moves her arrow keys, jaws says selected.
I went to computer/tools/options/view,
and I made sure that,
Use check boxes to select items is turned OFF.
regardless, each time the arrow keys are moved, jaws still says
selected.
this goes for desktop,
documents,
etc.
does anyone have a clue/solution?
have a good day.
