Yes. It appears there is no delay if an edit box gets focus when a page loads like with Google. Feature or bug?

JAWS still goes in to autoforms mode straight away even if you have a delay set. I have told FS about this with no response. Will phone sight and sound tomorrow.

As I use quick navigation keys a lot, it gets really annoying when I hit H for the next heading and it starts typing and I don't realize it so press enter, and it searches for something with an H at the beginning of my search query. The page will load and I'll hit escape or numpad plus to get out of forms mode, but then the page reloads and forms mode gets turned on again. So I'll think forms mode is off since I've told JAWS to get out of it, but then it'll start typing.
Kind of ironic how pre JAWS 10, I'd sometimes forget to turn forms mode on and start jumping all over the page, which got really annoying when a sighted person was trying to help me with something. And now that there's autoforms mode, it is activating sometimes when I don't want it.
Is there a way to leave autoforms mode on, but require you to manually enter forms mode on pages with auto focus to edit fields? I would love that.
