Hello Josh: Thank you for the tip, I did report it. I use also Win 10 and JAWS 17, but perhaps it was because I did not close JAWS 17 before installing JAWS 18, it did not remind me to do so and I overlooked it.

Given that it didn't work for you, it would be helpful to write a comment to this effect on VFO's bug reporting form for the beta release. In my case, the system was a Windows 10 laptop in my work environment on which I installed the beta version alongside JAWS 17.
