Larry: I notice this on occasions with other braille displays, but I'm not certain that it is automatically a Window-eyes fault.
I guess that you are connecting via USB and sometimes a port power fluctuation, whilst not significant, is enough to shut down the display. A Window-Eyes restart reinitialises the whole configuration. the . Having said this, I believe there are issues between Window-eyes and the Focus displays, relating to the Freedom Scientific driver which has to be installed for these displays to operate. Window-Eyes supports more displays than its main competitor, but the ability to consistently support each display is severely hampered as the drivers are third party. I believe that the Focus displays have huge potential, but for reasons that only the major players can explain, the interface with Window-eyes is not great. In fact, I am wondering if I should replace my Focus Blue with a second Braille Edge. Others may be more knowledgeable though and maybe more helpful. Vaughan.
