The reason why this list generates so many messages is that obviously,
most often there is more than one way to accomplish things.
I guess that's good but could also be confusing to the novice, along
with creating lots of traffic.

I didn't think of control L.
I'll try that here as well, if alt D or F6 fail to do the trick.

Hi Tom,
Instead of using Alt E or F6, use Control L, and the address of the current
page will come up and already be highlighted. So now, just use the Control C
shortcut to copy the address. Do not arrow around or anything or the address
will most likely disappear from here as well. I suspect you could use the
same procedure with the other two commands too.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Problem highlighting and copying web addresses
Hello, everyone.
This quiry relates to the recent thread on reading web addresses, but I
think my issue is different than what has been encountered thus far.
Basically, my problem is this:
When I am on a particular web site, I can initially access the URL web
address using either alt D or f6, but as soon as I start working with my
arrow keys to make sure I have focus on the address, or to actually copy the
address onto my clipboard, the address literally disappears.
At first, I thought this was a Jaws issue, in that the address is still on
the screen and simply is not being recognized by Jaws. However, I had my
sighted wife check, and she said that the address disappears from the screen
as well whenever I start working with my arrow keys.
I can gget a listing of other web addresses on the screen, but the one I
originally wanted seems to be gone.
Has anyone encountered this issue, and if so, how did you work around it?
I have found the problem with both Internet Explorer and Firefox.
I'm using Jaws 16 with Windows 7, IE 9, and Firefox 38 on this particular
computer.
