Oh for crying out loud!  Just disable the feature and don't use it then.
How much more can be said about this subject?  Some like it while others
don't like it.  OK  nuf said.

Unfortunately, Freedom Scientific is slowly but, surely, sliding into the
Microsoft way of thinking, that is, "don't do what you want,, just do what
we say and just do what we want you to do, in the way we want you to do it.
To do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it, to do it.
 
So, for example, you visit a web site for the first time!
 
You have no idea about the layout of the home page, to start with!
 
You have no idea what the links and buttons that are available on the home
page!
 
You have no idea how the search criteria works for that site!
 
And FS has the gall to, make the assumption that you want Forms Mode,
automatically turned on for every site that you visit before you have had
the chance to look at it!
 
Why have they thought of this function all of a sudden!
 
Do they think that JAWS users have suddenly forgotten how to press the ENTER
key to turn Forms Mode on!
 
For some JAWS users, having this function automatically turned on for them
might be all well and good, but I think that this will be a right pain in
the bumb for me.
 
I am making the assumption, rightly or wrongly, that you will be able to
turn this function on or off, at will, as you choose.
 
Sincerely:
 
Dave Durber
