Adrian: Thanks for this very thoughtful response.
I'll write to FS about this issue as soon as I get the chance here. And, I hope others do as well.

Cc: Adrian Spratt Subject: RE: merge utility We shouldn't begrudge FS for aiming to make money. The profit motive is often a driving force for improvement, and technological accessibility wouldn't have come this far if developers hadn't been able to make enough to pay staff, fund research, etc. We can just focus on mistakes FS makes, as we would any other company, whether for- or not-for-profit. Any company in the mainstream marketplace would know that this sort of cavalier attitude would meet with public outcry. I hope anyone who feels as we do will ask FS to fix this defect in an upcoming update to JAWS 17.

I promis, if supernova get up to standard as they mostly are then I will switch. I had enough. There were patitions for other buggs they never fixed, and I did not here from those people ever that it was fixed since then. I think ms and fs have some sort of an agreement, that is why fs going strong and the reason why ms will never improve narrator. They just give us bits and peaces to to try to fool us and condition many blind people that ms is really caring about accessibility. Now as far as jaws features goes, fs is doing the same thing. If you look at the feature set they did in the last 2 or free years, its becoming very clear, that only a few things are useful. Flexable web look nice when you play with it, but really for the money you pay it don't provide what most people would need. It just help you to filter what you don't like on a sertin site, and if you visit that site from another pc or with another screen reader, then you have to learn the original layout anyway.
