Ah, i've seen this behaviour before in a few windows apps. The trick is
usually to do shift-f10, and then once the menu comes up that jaws won't
read you need to use jaws cursor to get to the contents of the menu. This
is assuming of course that a menu comes up at all, i couldn't tell from your
message. I've also seen it in some apps where shift-f10 just plain doesn't
work. Dunno what causes it, dodgy coding i suppose. Try comparing the
behaviour to shift-f10 on something standard like a folder or a desktop
icon. If it works for you there, then at least you've narrowed it down to
whatever app you're using not playing nice.

Yup, yup and yup all with sighted help. I can press this combo and
nothing will speak until I press escape and then all is well.

are you certain you are focused on the item for which you want a context
menu? What exactly happens when you press shift-f10? are you certain
it's
the f10 key you are using? are you certain it's the shift key you are
using? This combination is a windows combination and this is a windows
app
so it should work fine.

Yeah, I am and it's not doing anything. I am using the new wired
aluminum keyboard if that helps.
