JAWS behaves for me now in 98 SE and XP JAWS versions 5.0 and 5.1. I don't
remember which had the capital problem, but I think it was probably 5.0 of
who knows what build.
It's really bad that all these dumb things happen to a lot of people, but it
is always nice to know I'm not alone, or crazy. :-)
