Hello everyone. As I am a JAWS user and I work at Duxbury Systems, I have
been exploring some of the issues about DBT and JAWS that have come up on
the list in the last few days. In particular, I have worked on reproducing
the problem of JAWS' saying the wrong item when you use the DownArrow,
UpArrow, Ctrl+RightArrow, or Ctrl+LeftArrow key to move by line or by word.
I have done this exploration with JAWS 4.02 and DBT 10.4.
When the DownArrow problem uccurs for me, I always find that the cursor was
already on the bottom line of text on the window before I pressed DownArrow.
For example, in the file dochow.dxp from the Duxbury folder, when the cursor
is at the top of the document and I press PageDown followed by DownArrow,
JAWS should speak the line "General Notes" but often speaks the line above
that or says "blank." Similarly, when the UpArrow problem occurs for me, I
always find that the cursor was already on the top line of text on the
window before I pressed UpArrow. My guess is that in the cases where this
problem occurs, DBT takes a little longer to reposition the text on the
screen, and JAWS needs to wait a little onger before speaking the line.
I have written a quick set of JAWS script files which makes JAWS delay
before speaking for these arrowing commands. In my initial testing, I am no
longer finding this problem. If anyone would like me to send them this set
of script files for testing, please send me a note off the list. I created
these script files in jaws 4.02, i BELIEVE THEY WOULD WORK IN OTHER VERSIONS
OF jaws AS WELL.
Sincerely,
Caryn
