I've had that happen. it is not fun! SA&G
:> Chris, :> :> I think that virtual buffer might sometimes be more apptly called the :> 'virtual bluffer'! It also has something to do with JAWS not coping :> very :> well with fairly large .pdf documents under normal conditions, etc. :> To be :> fair, this could rather be an MSAA thing, since this sort of issue :> has been :> going through several iterations over the years. Now, here's :> something that :> has raised its ugly head for me a few times recently, more than it :> did :> before, and more than it should. (It first happened with the :> introduction :> of the virtual buffer etc., in JFW3.31 back in summer 1999.) (Be :> warned: :> don't do the following unless you're prepared to take the :> consequences.) :> While typing a message (or reading a message with a large paragraph), :> accidentally or on purpose hit ctrl+down-arrow. There's a good :> chance that, :> if you do this, JAWS will be silent and nothing else will move on :> your :> machine until you ... reboot. :> :> ----- Original Message ----- :> From: "Chris Hallsworth" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> :> To: <[email protected]> :> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 8:18 PM :> Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 8 and Virtual Cursor: May Have :> FoundTriggerforBug! :> :> :> I've looked at it even closer, and it appears that Javascript has :> nothing to :> do with this bug.
