[gui-talk] Issue with JAWS 17 and Word in Windows 10

[Stan Gowin]

Hi,

This sounds like a focus problem that might be due to video driver issues. What happens if you alt-tab to a window with a Word document and then press the screen refresh key, alt-escape? Does that allow JAWS to focus on the window where Word is active?

Regards,
Stan
