[JAWSLite] Re: web forms with Jaws 8

I've seen this problem too and with a different web site. What web browser are you using? I've only seen it in Firefox, but that's the browser I use the most, so I might not have encountered it with IE. I usually see it after using the enter key. For example, I'll use the enter key to insert a blank line and then the capital I key will give me the same message you're getting. I think I started seeing this in a recent update of JFW 8. I haven't gotten around to opening a ticket on it because I was focusing most of my ticket opening efforts on more significant problems in JFW 9. I also assumed it was Firefox only, so I wasn't sure how high a priority it would get from FS. Now that I know others are seeing it, especially in IE, I'll definitely open a ticket. I'd suggest you do the same.

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, or if it's a problem more with the site I'm using. I sometimes use a secure mailbox for sending secure e-mails and attachments. The fields for filling out the to, cc, subject, and edit portions of the web-based messages are of course form fields. When I turn on Form Fields and start typing, the first press of a letter sometimes results in a Jaws message as if I hadn't turned forms mode on. E.g. Capital J might tell me about there being no placemarkers. When I press it again, I get my text. Or sometimes pressing enter in an edit field will turn forms mode off instead of going to a new line. Sometimes everything works as it should. 
Does anyone else have problems with web forms?
