Hello List Members, We have an Alva 280 (I believe) refreshable braille display. It has 80 cells with three status cells. We're also running JFW 3.20.31 with the newest Alva software installed. Everything works perfectly well, except for one quirky problem. It is possible to read from the display, one line after another using the up, down, left, and right arrows. But when the display is being read with the use of the bars at the front of the display, and the display encounters a blank line in the text, the display shows the words "scroll down symbol". When the bar is again pressed, I hear the infamous "bottom of window" message, and the display will move no farther. I've often checked to see the status of the JAWS and the PC cursor, and I am always notified that I am using the PC cursor. But that "bottom of window" message would seem to indicate that I am in the JAWS cursor mode. I then depress the down arrow and the cursor bounces up to an earlier part of the text. the cursor then proceeds downward in a normal fashion, as long as I keep pressing the down arrow (or use the Say All command). But when I again encounter a blank line of text with the bars at the front of the display, the trouble recurs. I know that the Alva software is more up-to-date than the Alva hardware, but if I had to take a wild guess, I would say that the problem is with JFW, especially in light of a HJ message I recently saw on this list concerning a display panning problem. Anyone else have any ideas? In particular, if Ann McCay is reading this post, I'd like to know of her experience with this display.
