Description Randall (Randy) Horwitz CLA 2002-02-18 17:31:54 EST 
I'm using Jaws For Windows version 3.7.47
Eclipse Build: 20020125

When I enter the welcome perspective:
- I hear nothing unless I place jaws in say all mode with an 
insert-s.
- I am then read all of the screen, but the text on the
welcome page is interspersed with the controls, 
and it is difficult to follow.
- I presume that there is a way to scroll down
with the mouse, I can find none with the keyboard.
- It makes it very difficult, if not
imposible to do anything with this perspective.

The welcome page is contributed by the Platform UI
Comment 2 Kevin Haaland CLA 2002-02-27 09:49:13 EST 
This is a real problem. We do not have an html widget that we can embedd on all 
platforms and are using a combination of native controls to get this effect.
Comment 3 Kevin Haaland CLA 2002-03-06 20:12:46 EST 
This will not be fixed for the 2.0 release.
