Recently I have been having this happen to me as well. While I have Jaws 10 I haven't yet upgraded from 9 PRO running under VISTA. Having sloshed a coffee through the notebook keyboard I am still waiting for a new one to be installed and am using a USB keyboard and it began happening about that time, just a couple of weeks ago. Sometimes unloading and reloading JWS will fix it but usually I have to reboot.

I have also noticed that ALT-Arrow doesn't necessarily move me back and forth along Web pages and sometimes Space Bar does not click buttons.

While I cant explain the spacebar issue I am guessing something is happening with the ALT key. Maybe one of those worms lying in wait for April first.

I have the same kind of problem, however, in my case, I am not able to
activate the system menu on any window.

When I press alt+the spacebar, I get the file menu and nothing else.

I have come to the conclusion that this is not Jaws related, and is Windows
related, but, for the life of me, I can't figure out why that is.

I am dying to root around in the registry, but I don't know enough about it
and it's idiosyncrasies to successfully negotiate all the parameters.
