This happens in various apps. In fact, as I think about it, I'm not sure it even needs to be in an edit field as such. This may happen on a web page when I'm using the virtual cursor, for instance.

I'll try your suggestion regarding maximizing the screen, but I hope there's a better solution than that.

Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,

Does this happen in all edit fields, only in those associated with a specific 
application, or what? A basic suggestion would be to ensure the window is 
maximized. The universal way to maximize a window is to press alt and the 
spacebar together, release, then press the letter x.

I meant to mention that I'm using the latest version of JAWS 18 on a fairly new 
Windows 10 computer. This seems to happen mostly when I arrow fairly quickly. 
If I arrow slowly, it works better.

Thanks,
Jeff

I'm experiencing a problem with JAWS that's rather annoying. As I
arrow around in an edit field, JAWS sometimes reads the character or
line it just moved off of rather than the character/line that is
selected. This doesn't happen with every arrow movement, but often
enough to be annoying. Is there anything I can do about this?
