I'm really sorry to drag this out, but I just realized I posted the wrong key combo for a temporary placemarker in a browser: It's control-Windows key-k.

Such tasks need to be as automatic as possible. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Justin Williams Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2018 10:45 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 2018 won't keep focus with IE in some webpages The place mmarkerseems like a good work around, also remembering a key word, any word in that area, or a short sequence, and using the find feature, control f, could laos be used. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2018 10:06 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 2018 won't keep focus with IE in some webpages Thanks, Patti, you've given me a very constructive workaround, and I'll use it. Still, it's an extra step and a distraction. Let's say I'm copying seven items of information from different parts of a webpage. With previous versions of JAWS, I could rely on focus staying where I'd left it on transferring each item to a Word file. This is already a tedious process that requires concentration. Your idea will help, but it's still an extra precaution I shouldn't need to take based on earlier versions of JAWS. Note for anyone following this thread. You can set a temporary placemarker in a browser with control-shift-k. As I recall, it is replaced each time you set a new one or close the window. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of patti Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2018 9:37 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 2018 won't keep focus with IE in some webpages How about using place markers, so when you go back to that page, all you have to do is press the letter K. Patti I'm referring to the situation where I'm taking information bit by bit from a webpage. I need to be able to go back to that page and resume where I left off. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of patti Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2018 7:41 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 2018 won't keep focus with IE in some webpages What I do is make sure my curser is in the upper left hand side at the top. Patti Hi. We've had an earlier thread on this subject. I've also written and spoken to VFO about it, but all they told me was to change certain JAWS quick settings that I want to keep for other purposes. I don't need to make these changes when using earlier versions of JAWS, which means I spend my day switching between versions. I've just written again to VFO tech support. I'd urge anyone else experiencing this problem to do the same because it's a significant flaw.
