Hi everyone,


>I'm using:

Firefox: 2.0.0.14
Jaws 9.0.519


I'm getting some strange effects. Most of the MSAA features work just
fine, but any spaces in the source are often passed along to the
virtual buffer. Formatting hilarity ensues! ...

Even more disruptive, though is that BR's aren't respected, so lines
that should be split up are run together. It doesn't matter if the
code has <br> or <br /> .

In a few other cases, the raw HTML is sent to the buffer. I haven't
determined what constructions cause this effect yet.

Has anyone else encountered any of these phenomena?

Thanks very much,

Patrick
