OK Doug, as I said when I contacted Microsoft they said there were no focus issues. It seems that GW had a close relationship with Microsoft. This focus issue maybe doesn't effect sighted users but it sure effects us blind users. Would it not be a great idea and use your Microsoft contacts and get this issue fixed? It is obvious that Microsoft isn't going to do anything if a user calls them but maybe just maybe they will listen to you.

John,

You hit the nail on the head.  What Don didn't mention when he said he
talked to me is I am able to duplicate focus issues on a machine that
has never had Window-Eyes or any assistive technology installed on it.
There clearly are focus issues within the operating system but as John
pointed out, they just aren't noticed as much because they are pointing
and clicking and that puts focus under the mouse. Few people drive
Windows exclusively from the keyboard so they just aren't noticed.

For sighted people these focus issues are no problem, they just click
somewhere and focus if good and they don't even notice.

Running WE 9 on a Win 8.1 system.
Have reported to GW about WE losing focus on dialog boxes and web
pages. Got a response back from Doug that this was a Windows issue.
Called Microsoft and they say there is no focus issues with Win 8.1.
So the question now is what next?  Leaves me between a rock and a hard
spot.
