[JAWSLite] Re: web forms with Jaws 8

I've still seen it in JFW 9, including the final version. If it's being seen in both Firefox and IE, I'd be surprised if FS doesn't know about it already, but I'll open a ticket. As I said in a previous post, I'd encourage others who are seeing this to also open a ticket. The more info FS has, the more they'll have to go on in coming up with root cause.

Sure thing. I have had that happen at a variety of sites. I believe Jaws thinks the key is a quick key, and if you keep typing the key until something is written, it will be all right. Now that I have had Jaws 9 for a few days, I think that weirdness might have been fixed.

*Subject:* [JAWSLite] web forms with Jaws 8
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?
