I've worked around this a couple of ways:
* Link a scriptset to default.jss whose sole purpose is to monitor for
focusless situations and restore focus to the last window handle seen
in focus, or another appropriate handle.
* Monitor key presses that are most likely to yield this hurtle (I.E.
space/enter for escaping the aforementioned dialogs), then
schedule--or immediately call--a monitoring function that would work
as described above to handle any undesired focus changes.
There is a third solution, but I've only seen this happen in early
versions of Windows Messenger. Jaws may simply be trapped in a
fruitless window. The basic outline here would be to obtain the
boundaries and some identifying attributes, then move the jaws cursor
outside the window when it's detected. Sometimes this is enough; other
times, the PC Cursor must be routed to the new position.
