I would love to hear the solution to this as well. I also have these
problems, but have never been able to get an answer to it. I don't know if
you experience it in replying to a message or not, but I also when replying
to a message can be typing along and then all of a sudden when checking back
on the message I end up inserting sentences where they don't need to be or
the cursor will jump down to the individuals email and before I realize it I
have typed a whole message in the other person's email. I have now gotten in
the habit of checking frequently though where I am. Also, when typing out a
message I could start out in the edit field of the message and end up in a
windows search box where Jaws has lost focus. I noticed this has occurred
with this message as well if you scroll down you will see an example of what
I am referring to in Scorpio's email. Take care

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Cursor Jumping Around With Jaws 12
Hi Folks,cursor will jump down to the individuals email and before I
realize it I have typed a whole message in the other person's email. I
have now gotten in the habit of checking frequently though where I am.
Also, when typing out a message I could start out in the edit field of the
message and end up in a where Jaws has lost focus.windwos search box
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this for themselves?
When I'm on a webpage, the focus seems to jump from one place to another,
and links aren't activating when entering on them in several cases.
The same is happening with Outlook Express, where the message will read
the one before it, or, it'll say not selected on the message after the one
I'm actually sitting on, and so I have to wait until Jaws reads the
headers of the next message before I can read the headers of the current
message I'm sitting on.
Websites are the worst though. I'll be on one part of the page, and
suddenly the focus will jump to another area of the page, or, Jaws will be
sluggish and slow to respond to my keystrokes on a webpage.
Another example I can posit is on the Yahoo Webmail site, when I'm sitting
on a message, and I'm in the first heading of the page, where the subject
line is, I'll try to tab to the add to address book link, and it jumps to
the end of the message, several links down, and so have to shift+tab up to
the link I wanted in the first place.
Again, I'm using the latest build of Jaws 12, Windows XP, Internet
Explorer 8, and Outlook Express 6.
Aside from the Yahoo mail site, located at:
http://mail.yahoo.com
I can give the following website as an example where the focus and cursor
jump around drastically, and Jaws is slow to respond:

I hope people can, either, corroborate my experiences, or have a solution
that will help me solve the issues.
