I haven't noticed any real issues with Jaws 17. I can't say I've noticed 
any improvements either, but then again, I haven't checked the what's 
new list to play with things.

The only new bug I notice is that Jaws is now inconsistent about 
correctly telling you how many items are in a file folder. When I'm in 
my Ana folder, Jaws gives me correct information, but when I'm in word, 
the information is incorrect. for example, I have a folder called 
English 10. In that folder is a subfolder called Essay 3. when I go into 
ana > Documents > English 10 > Essay 3, I correctly hear I have 39 
items. When I am in Word, press ctrl+o, press enter on English 10, then 
on Essay 3, I incorrectly hear I have 18 items. I use this feature a lot 
to keep track of how much work I have yet to do. when I put student 
homework in a folder, I used to press the say-line command on one of the 
items in the folder to hear that it was number 1 of X, and as I graded 
assignments, I would periodically use the say-line command to hear how 
many more I had to do.
