Hi

It is actually moving the Jaws focus around the page.
If you have Jaws on a machine and go to the main landmark for
instance, then leave it there for a few seconds, the Jaws cursor keeps
moving up. If you use tab to get to a link from that place, and then
you hit tab again, you end up stuck on the same link.
It is clearly messing with the Jaws focus, oddly enough not with NVDA
(I left all default settings for web browsing in Jaws, I know I can
fix it on my machine by disabling page refreshes, I have tested that,
but most users don't know that they need to do that).
Cheers
