Oh, I feel better, I thought it was just me and my antiquated JAWS 10 using
IE 8. This is particularly bad on the schwans.com site, and sometimes even
bringing up a list of links and pressing enter to activate the link that way
doesn't solve the issue. If I try moving to the link instead, the cursor is
actually one or two lines above the link, which explains why I was always
going to other parts of the site totally unrelated to what I was clicking
on. I usually refresh the screen and then move the virtual cursor right to
the place where the link starts and then either left click or press enter.
it's still hit and miss, though.
Honestly, the only way to avoid this is to use another screen reader which
won't be mentioned.

I find the same experience. I to use the link list JawsKey+F7 to get focus
to the link I am trying to activate otherwise it it really hit and miss.

Yup, it has been doing that since at least Jaws 13. Very frustrating.
You need to go into the links list to make sure it focuses correctly.

I have noticed focus issues on web pages with the last few versions of
JAWS. You click on a link or control, only to see that another link or
control was activated, or nothing happens at all.

I've had a similar problem to the one Miriam is having. If I go to the
AT&T website to check mail, every time I hit the link for "spam", it
takes me to "create a new folder". I can only get to the spam folder
using the jaws cursor. Then, to empty the spam folder, I have to go back
to the jaws cursor since, using the virtual cursor on "empty the spam
folder", it sends me to the sent folder.
There are several other websites with buttons rather than links that
give me grief as well. It seems to be a focus thing since jaws reads a
and I'm really on b. karen
