BlankI have Jaws 13 on an XP IE8 machine.
I started playing with the tether feature that somebody mentioned yesterday.
At the time, I didn't realize that it crdeated all sorts of issues for me.
I was hoping to have it follow my browsing activity so when I got to some
buttons that were inaccessible, I might be able to mouse emulate and
left-click.
But, I encountered some interesting behavior that I didn't discover until
after I took a bunch of other steps first that it was the tethering of the
cursor that was at fault. The behaviors were that alt-tabbing only took me
to the most previous app opened on the taskbar, and even worse, every time I
landed on a submenu in a treview, Jaws opened up the submenu and it was
impossible to left-arrow or escape out of it.
I originally thought I had a windows issue until I discovered that I didn't
have that problem with System Access or Window-Eyes, nor with previous
versions of Jaws (since I hadn't changed the tethering). When I untied the
cursors, behavior changed back to normal.
So, can someone give a cogent explanation of when tethering might be
appropriate and if there is a way to avoid the impossible behavior I was
getting with the treviews?
