I generally use the spacebar rather than the enter key to activate links
and buttons. I think the enter key focuses on the default element rather
than the focused control in certain situations. for stubborn links where
no strategies seem to work, I'll press the applications key or the right
click to see if the first item is open, which entering will activate the
link.

I have encountered this behavior in Jaws for years. It happens to me
more in Firefox than IE, but it happens in both. The best way that I
have found to circumvent the problem is to TAB to the link and then
activate it, instead of navigating to the link with the cursor keys.
When using FF, I always TAB to a link before activating.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws activating wrong link why?
I'm not sure if it's after the windows 10 update, or after I made
changes in
the quick setting which I don't remember what the changes were; however,
here is the skinny.
Let's say there are two links I am passing by, about and contact us. I
click contact us and the about page opens.
The only way I can get the right link to launch is listing the links,
tab to
move to link, then activate link. That is to much just to read a page
lol,
thoughts?
Windows 10, jaws 16 and IE 11.
