I forgot to add that as it may seem as if I hijacked the thread for what's new in jaws bla la bla was to fix this issue but I'm glad I didn't write that as I'm getting mixed responses, so I will have to push my pride aside and call tech support lol.
While I'm here, even though I cannot demonstrate it to yall, let me see if this will occur, I will now alt tab from this message I am writing and go to another window and come back. Yep, I had to turn off quick keys. Maybe I should do a jaws repair. Before I call them guys ey? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimber Gardner Sent: Thursday, January 28, 2016 8:06 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Direct Download Links & What's New For LatestRelease J17.0.1377 I've never seen this behavior in outlook 2013 with any version of jaws.
