Hi I have occasionally seen the same behavior with the last several releases of JAWS 12 running IE 8. But I have seen it under Windows 7 64-bit. I don't think that this is a problem of JAWS completely loosing focus, but rather that the Virtual buffer where JAWS holds a web page is not being updated when a page is downloaded or updated. I don't know a permanent solution. But the quickest way to get around this issue is to press JAWSkey+escape to refresh the screen and virtual buffer. That's quicker than reloading the whole page again.

What is happening lets say I click on a link within a webpage or go to a new page altogether, well jaws will still be on that previous page or link even though the pc is really not. I can either refresh the page or to stop it from doing this altogether to unload and reload jaws. Anyone know how I can fix this for good?
