Yes if there are 0 files in a folder then yes it appears to act as if
it's lost focus.

A typical example is downloading MP3 files from the Internet or from RSS
feeds in IE 8. I have a "Podcast" folder in my Download folder where I
want to place this file. When I proceed to save the file, commonly by
RouteingJAWSToPC, simulating a RightMouse click, and selecting "Save
Target as ...". At this point, I normally press Shift + Tab twice to get
to the folder view where it should show a list of folders and files of
the same type within the currently selected folder. Of course, the
selected folder should be the folder saved to the last time a file was
downloaded. JAWS will currently not announce anything in that control.
If mmy last selected folder was the Download folder, it should announce
"Audible", which is currently the first folder in my Download folder. If
my last selected folder was the Podcast folder, it should announce the
first file, if there are any files.
Like I said previously, pressing Shift + Tab a third time to the tree
view, provides no help since JAWS only announces the hard drive name and
not the currently selected folder. I have been using the tree anyway to
navigate to the desired foldder even though it was probably already
selected!
I wanted to see if anyone else had these problems. I installed some
software that screwed up some Windows Explorer settings that JAWS did
not like. I reset all views and am attempting to restore them to my
preferences.
I have also had problems in Windows Explorer when entering an empty
folder. JAWS does not announce 0 files (something to that effect) and
seems to get lost!

Could you give me an example of where this problem will happen then I
can try and duplicate this.

I have noticed that when in a Save As dialog box, such as when saving
a file in Internet Explorer, JAWS will not announce other items in
the current folder or correctly report which folder is currently
selected. Perhaps I have screwed up something, but JAWS seems lost!
When the Save As dialog appears, the focus is placed in the filename
control. I normally press Shift + Tab twice to hear what other files
and folders are in the currently selected directory. Pressing
Backspace here will go up a level and I make sure I am in the desired
folder before saving the new file. If I am still confused about which
folder I am in, I can press Shift + Tab once more to get to a tree
view with the current folder selected.
My current Windows 7 and JAWS 10 and 11 will not work in this manner.
Occasionally, when on the folder control, JAWS will announce the
files and folders within that folder, but most of the time, I can not
get it to announce anything! Even worse, when on the tree view, It
will just announce the name of the hard drive even though the correct
folder has been selected!
Does anybody have the same problem? Does anybody know how to make
JAWS announce these things correctly?
