We can be sure that the reported problems are not general bugs in the current Window-Eyes version otherwise GW Micro wouldn't have released it. There are millions of different installations outside and on some, under some circumstances, we can discover a bug, or a misbehavior. So, when I post a message here telling that hitting the bookmark key sometimes K locks up my browser and WE, I mean that it happens on my side in my current configuration, and not in general on any PC running Window Eyes.
GW Micro does a great job and I'm happy with all the releases that came out since I use WE, but a bug or a misbehavior is it worse to get reported in this list, and pls without endless discussions, smile. Reporting a bug is to make a product better and not to blame the authors.

While I am sympathetic to those that have had WE instability issues, when many people talk about instability issues, many of them presuppose that every user of Window Eyes. While I'm not experiencing any instability issues with WE using windows xp sp3, I am not going to make the supposition that since I'm not having instability problems, nobody is having instability problems. GWMicro is in a nowin situation. If they didn't release a new version of WE, they would be castigated for not releasing an update. On the other hand, there are those that make the claim that GWMicro should wait to release WE. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh N Rivera" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 7:09 AM Subject: Re: 7.1 stability problems > Having only installed WE 7.1 a couple of days ago, I haven't put it > through all of it's paces yet.
