I don't know.  I never heard of it.  <grin>

Jim, I don't have the exact problem you describe; however, arrowing down
through my email, sometimes the machine hangs up for 3 or four seconds and
then takes off again. I have the Winzip system suite. As part of that is a
function to reconfigure Windows. I have been a little reluctant to activate
that facility, plus I have to watch not running disk compaction on a SSD
drive.

I don't have very many modifications to JAWS, except for someone's JLS
scripts! I wonder whose code that is?

Guys,
Lately, I have been noticing very strange behavior on newer installations of
jaws, strange lags in processing.  This happens on several different
machines.
One annoying behavior is that, from the time I press a braille routing key,
until the cursor actually lands on the targeted character, is longer than I
have ever seen.  So, if you wack a routing key, you have to consciously stop
and confirm that the cursor has landed where you want before taking any
action.   It can really slow you down.
Another is that after typing text into any word processing or text editing
app, that there is a delay before you can reliably press insert+upArrow to
read the line you just typed.  Often, the insert+key gets missed, and the
unmodified UpArrow is sent instead.
Yes,  at least two different keyboards.  So, I don't think it is a keyboard
issue.  It never happens when text has not been recently typed.  but, it is
as if JAWS takes a while to digest the fact that the line was updated.
I have not fully nutted down exactly when and where this happens, and does
not.  But, it is always a newer computer, and not always the latest version
of jaws.
It is just the kind of think that makes me eager to update my technology.
Has anyone else seen this?  Does anybody know, is there any way of stopping
it?
