Just something I've noticed. I usually use the space bar to go into forms mode
with older versions of Jaws. That cuts down on going where I don't want to.

If you do not like it turn it off. Personally it is something that is very
long overdue in my opinion. I like not having to press enter to fill in forms,
it needs a bit more work, for example if one tabs to put in a password after a
user name it sometimes turns off and getting it back again can be a annoying
but, for the most part this is a feature I like a lot--a feather that often in
the past has made me switch to System Access when I know I am going to be
filling in forms.

I don't think I like the idea of auto forms mode at all. If I want to fill
out something, it is so easy to hit enter to get into forms mode, there is no
chance of typing something into an edit field unintentionally, I always know
whether I'm in forms mode or not, and if for some reason, I'm unsure, all I
have to do is press the key combination for the pc cursor to find out.
I don't like my computer or its programs to do my thinking for me, and
automatically putting me in forms mode when I may not want to be there falls
into that category IMO.

Hi, I love the new auto forms mode. However I find it annoying when
sometimes it will automatically go in to auto forms mode when you first load up
a site. For example EBay or other sites were there is a search box or username
field, and the website is designed to put you straight to either of the boxes.
JAWS then switches to forms mode as soon as the page has loaded (sometimes even
whilst it's loading), and then you can't use your navigation quick keys to move
around the page, without having to press down arrow first to get out of forms
mode.
I'd like to have it so that JAWS wont go in to auto forms mode in
situations were the website automatically puts you in an edit field.
Anybody else have any comments on this?
Peter
