Hi.
Could be you're somehow winding up with keyboard focus somewhere besides the list box. This is a relatively common issue for me, you might try shift+tabbing a couple of times and see if you can land focus back on the list view.
Btw, I'm guessing you know this already but just in case, when you hit enter on folders, JAWS isn't opening them, that's just Windows behaving as it should to your keyboard input, and JAWS is just there to let you know what's on screen.
Sorry if this seems extraneous. I feel drawn to point these things out though because knowing these things can really help make efficient use of one's computer in situations where there is no screen reader and one is trying to get something done with no speech, or using a completely different screen reader and you can benefit from knowing what functionality will be consistent as it wasn't a screen reader thing to begin with.

Hi listers, Has anyone had this issue, or knows how to fix it. My issue is this, I'm using windows 10 and latest jaws 17. I updated jaws a few days ago and today I sat down to sort some music on my laptop. I opened file explorer through a shortcut I have on my desktop which is my music folder. I hear jaws say music multiview list box not selected Michael Jackson 1 of 4. I arrow up and down through the folder and jaws announces the different files. I hear the file I want for example Michael Jackson and I hit enter on my keyboard, and jaws opens it. And then I hear jaws say Michael Jackson multi view list box track 1 not selected, and then here's the problem. I can't up and down through the files with the arrow keys jaws announces absalutley nothing. No matter what I do with the arrow keys no response, I alt tab back into the window but nothing. My laptop is a touch screen, so if I put my finger on the screen and move it around jaws announces the file names for example track 1 or track 2, and if I double tap with my finger on the screen it opens the file as expected. Does anyone know how to fix this? Could one of my jaws settings have gotten screwed up with the update? Or maybe windows update screwed up something with jaws? Any ideas on how to fix this?i want to be able to use my keyboard to go through my files and open them like before, I don't want to use the touch screen. Any help is greatly appreciated.
