I have had this happen to me off and on with the past few versions of JAWS.
For me it is not a JAWS issue. I use a laptop and there is a touch pad for
visual users to use to move the mouse around. There is also a small button
just above that touch pad that turns this touch pad on and off. If I do not
have the mouse touch pad turned off and I accidentally touch the pad while
typing, browsing or anything else the cursor will jump focus and screw me
all up and put me in a place I don't want to be. I found that as long as I
keep the mouse touch pad turned off, I never have any problems keeping focus
where I want it and everything works fine. I hope this helps.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Focus issue
Sometimes when I'm writing an email, or writing in MS Word, the cursor
will jump and all of a sudden I'm typing in the middle of the previous
sentence or the previous paragraph. And I never know the cursor has moved
until I review my text and find it all mixed up. It doesn't happen too
often, but I can never figure out what makes the cursor jump like that.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, is there any way to keep it
from happening?
Thanks for any help,
Deanne
