Some GUI Menus Are Treated as Check Boxes
For some GUIs (for example, the figure window), menus are treated by JAWS
as though they are check boxes, whether or not they actually are.
Yo u can choose a menu i tem for such GUIs by using accelerator keys (e.g.,
Ctrl+N to select New Figure), if one is a ssociated with a menu item. You can
also use m nemonics for menu navigation (e.g., Alt+E).
Note that check box es that yo u e ncounter by tabbing through the elements of
a GUI are handled properly.
Text Ignored in Some GUIs
For some dialog boxes, JAWS reads the dialog box title and any buttons, but
ignores any text in the dialog box.
Also, in parts of some GUIs, such as s ome text-entry fields, JAWS ignores the
label of the field . However, JAWS will read any text in the text box.
