[jaws-uk] Re: Something very anoying in the new update

I have tried Jaws 7.10 with both Google.com and Google UK as well.  Niether 
have a visible prompt but just the edit field itself, they have added the field 
label more recently.  My Jaws 7.10 announces "Google Search Edit" only the once 
in speech which is exactly what it should do.
I anyone else experiencing this problem with this site?

Also perhaps try eliminating any settings out of the equation as well.  
1    Open Start > Run.
2    Type in the command line "Jaws71 /default" and press enter.  You will hear 
the Jaws window pop up but it's not a new copy of Jaws.
3    Press insert+F4 and remove Jaws.
4    Then press windows+R for "run" and press enter again, this will load Jaws 
fresh running purely on defaults rather than user settings.
The above assumes your PC remembers it's command line entries for the run 
command, in some environments this is disabled, that being the case you would 
have to enter the command line in with no speech.

  Hi,

  I am finding this new update a bit difficult to get used to.  The main
  reason is that on a web form, if you are arrowing through the form, Jaws
  before 7.10 read out the relevant field, then the edit box etc for you
  to put the data into.  However, what I am now finding is that Jaws is
  reading some sort of attribute on the form entry fields, in addition to
  the data which is visible in the browser window, in effect reading the
  data out twice for each arrow up/down.  It is not therefore easy to
  distinguish when you come to the edit field in a form, you have to use
  different navigation commands to get you to the next edit field etc.

  One clear example on this is at http://www.google.com, where I usually
  quickly arrow down until I hear the words "edit", however, now I hear
  the words "google search" read out twice, once for the text shown above
  the form field, and once again on the form field itself.

  Is there any way to turn this feature off, so that I can hear the
  description of the field by pressing a key or something?

  Also, I realise that Brian has done a script for this, but I find
  Outlook a bit annoying when you continually hear the same message read
  out if you come to the bottom of the list.  If you are viewing a folder
  with the new messages coming at the bottom, you don't know when you
  reach the bottom of the list easily, because you continually hear the
  last message in the list, which makes it seem like that person wrote
  loads of messages.

  Thanks.
  Andrew.
