[NFBCS] My system opens the context menu instead of clicking the save button when I attempt to save a file and when I attempt to attach a file to a message in outlook

[Christopher Chaltain]

In addition to what John suggests below, I’ll also use alt, n, a, f to attach the last file I was working on.

Hello, my favorite way to attach a file in office 365 is to navigate to the file and Windows explorer to press control C to go to the body of the email and press control V. I then shift tab to see that the file or set of files has been attached and click send very best, John.

I have noticed the same thing when attaching files to an email in Outlook. After selecting a file, I press space on the insert button and get the context menu. After some trial and error, I figured out I must press enter on the button rather than space.

I just noticed this  recently. I’m running Windows 11  but not the beta JAWS.

Regards,

Steve

This is a strange one, and I want to know if this a bug with the new JAWS or if something strange is happening with Windows 11.  Create a file, choose the save as dialog, find a place to save the file and finally tab to the save button.  When I do this and press enter JAWS says “context menu map network drive…”  I try to hit save again and usually after about the third or fourth time, I will get the save action I was expecting.  This bug started a few weeks ago, no I don’t think the Windows 11 upgrade made a difference.  So it is performing the right click action on enter with save instead of the left-click action it seems.  Anyone here notice this behavior and know if this is something wih the new JAWS beta or something I can change in Windows 11 to resolve?  When I get the open context menu action, I tried using space bar instead of enter with the same results.
Thanks for any ideas
Sean
