I've noticed the same things in an XP machine running through a VPN and a remote connection. As well I keep having the window reduced so that many edit fields are not available in a 2003 Access database and I can't figure out what key combination is causing the issue. Mostly I have to reboot the remote computer and re-launch JAWS on the master computer to get things working again. 

Thx, Albert
