Weird issues with skype
Regarding the messages you already got on this: I doubt this is related to any screen reader, scripts/add-ons, or even accessibility. It sounds like more of a Skype technical or permission problem. A

Missing characters when typing messages in Skype with JAWS

You will probably need to translate the scConvList constant in the XML file to avoid that message. The command still works because it will simulate the native Alt+1 command when it can't find the fiel

can't delete anyone from skype.
Very strange. Even if I pull up the context menu on a favorited contact and see "Remove from favorites" as a choice, I still also see "Delete contact." I suggest trying the Microsoft Disability Answer

Jaws crashing with skype
I've seen that issue, in Skype and other Electron-based apps, for a long time. The JAWS and invisible cursors are not reliable in this environment in my experience. The virtual, PC, and touch cursors

can't delete anyone from skype.
The way I delete a contact, rarely though I do it, is this: 1. Type Alt+2 to bring up the contact list. 2. Find the contact. 3. Press the Menu or Application key to get a context menu for the contact.

Ah, Alt+1 from a split-view chat window will not bring you back to the main window. I don't think that ever worked in Skype 8.x. I'm guessing it would be difficult to implement that in an Electron app
