   IE 6.0 (PC) displays the first letter like the Safari 1.3 result. The weird thing though is once you resize the browser window in any way, the letter disappears and doesn’t return. I was sure that Fangs 0.81 displayed the text, but I’ll have to confirm that when I get home.

    Jaws 4.0 with IE 6.0
    Virtual Cursor on - yes/T r e s (spread across the page)
    Virtual Cursor off - reads “T h”/no
    Virtual Cursor on is default unless user has set their preferences to off.

    By the way, in your table containing the results of your first test of browser tests, the left half of the first column is getting cut off in IE 6 in an 800 x 600 maximized browser window, that is, I can’t see it.
