Hi, I have not had the issue with rereading lines when down arrowing but I have had the typing issue where it seems that JAWS is causing a problem with my typing on a Lenovo laptop with windows7 64 bit. This has happened in Outlook2013 messages when composing a new message or in Word documents when composing a document. For me since I use JAWS with a braille display disabling the active follows braille setting seems to have solved the issue. When I have both of these checked, I notice that JAWS has this problem.
