Regarding not being able to write in Thunderbird replies or drafts? I
see this once in a while. It has something to do with the cursor not
being seen. All I have to do is Shift-Tab up to the subject field, then
Tab back down into the message edit box and it always works. I hope this
does the trick for you.
Regards,
Tom

I have had W-E act up when I use Thunderbird for reading a bunch of
emails. sometimes I will be unable to type a reply in the message field
to reply to a message, and nothing short of closing and reopening W-E
works. The other day, I saved a draft in TB and could not edit it later.
One thing I noticed - if I close Window Eyes after maybe 8 to 10
seconds, the screen goes totaly dark for a second and then returns. When
I rush things and don't wait for this to happen, I have to reboot. If
you cannot see enough to see the screen go dark and return to the
desktop, count to maybe 15.
In earlier versions of Window Eyes I had to reboot more often. In 7.5.2
it is much easier to just close and reopen Window Eyes as long as I wait
for W-E to close down completely. Also, I no longer keep TB open all the
time from morning until night and may give TB a proactive close before
or after I read a bunch of emails even if nothing is acting up.
I did have an issue where the spell check in word 2010 would not read
the choices when pressing the ALT-; and ALT-' after TB and W-E acted up.
Since I have started doing the above, this has not happened /fingers
crossed.
The other thing I notice is if I have been away from the computer and
tap an arrow key to wake it up, there is no speech. I just click the
physical mouse once on the screen and things are fine.
I also wonder if internet speed or provider issues are causing
conflicts. Our Windstream internet was down yesterday morning. When it
returned, I had less issues. When I first upgraded to 7.5.2 a few weeks
ago, things were perfect. Then things began to lock up with TB. After
our internet came back yesterday, I have had less issues with TB and
W-e. Just a thought.

Yes I have AVG but never had a problem with TB in previous versions.
