John,
I haven't seen the problems with Outlook Express, or Yahoo Messenger,
but I don't use either of those programs. I have seen the tab
problems in I.E., and I suspect they happen because JAWS is having
difficulty determining where it is on the screen, and so it loses
focus. This problem was reported to FS by a friend of mine back in
July, and he never received any response from them. Maybe we should
all report our problems to FS and hope that they pay attention to
numbers. It's at least as useful as complaining to each other on this list.
