jaws and aria - updating the cache

Aria support involves dynamically changing properties in a widget via
javascript. I remember way back when that Jaws didn't always update its
cached view of the dom every time javascript made changes. For instance,
sending focus to a place on the page which had been hidden with display:none
possibly involved updating a hidden field just so that jaws would know that
it has to update its cached view of the page. Do we still have this problem
with Jaws 11+, in that it won't immediately recognize my updated aria
properties and states, or has that problem been addressed?
Thank you in advance for all responses.
