Re: Mysterious JAWS voice change

I changed it to 6 digits but the problem continued to occur. However, if I set it to 6 digits and set the SayAll reads by Paragraph, it stops firing up Grandpa when I type 1234 or 12345. The moment I inset 6 digits or more, the voice is back.

I tried it with the default settings and it does occur. However, it does not occur in Firefox or Chrome whether I use my settings or the default settings.

So it is an issue in IE for sure.

I bet it has something to do with the enhancements that they have been adding for Windows 10 and its version of Internet Explorer. On Windows 10 IE is a different beast. Also, if you visit the download page of JAWS and check out the enhancements of JAWS 17, you will notice lots of issues with ARIA in general.

That is why I'd recommend taking all of the details from here and emailing them about this constant bug.
