I'm having the same problem with the regular version of JFW 3.3135, but it
only occurs when I try using the dictionary manager for the first time after
starting my system to add a word to my default.JDF file. Just as soon as I
hit CTRL-SHIFT-D, my system will ding, and then it's good bye to being able
to read anything on the screen. And just like the problem mentioned with
the demo, I can tab from the desktop to the start button to the taskbar, and
everything will speak. But I can't make any selections. I can still run
any programs, but I can't read the screen, or tell what I'm typing.
Refreshing the screen doesn't help. The only thing that seems to get my
screen reading capabilities back is to unload JFW, and then re-load it.
After this, the dictionary manager works, but my JFW script files don't get
re-loaded. The reason I know this, is because I have Dennis Brown's patch
to help JFW regain focus of the desktop when closing an application pasted
into my JFW.JSS file, and this work-a-round doesn't get executed.
