I'm still using 4.02 and I have the same problem.  However, I'm using Windows 
ME.

  For me, that started with Jaws version 6. With each upgrade or update, 
techies at Freedom Scientific have promised the next version would cure the 
problem, so I wait again for the next version. 

  A couple of things might help. Maximize the window. Try selecting the blank 
space. Sometimes this sets things right.

  The foolproof work-around is to keep Jaws 5.1 on a hot key and switch back to 
it.

  Hiya all,

  I'm running Windows XP home SP2 and Jaws 7 and besides other little bug bears 
I've discovered with Jaws 7, I just want to know is anyone else having problems 
when typing in an edit box on an internet explorer page and sometimes you go to 
backspace to correct a letter and Jaws just says blank blank, yet other times 
it reads the letter. I know for a fact what I have typed is there as when I 
turn off the forms mode it reads to me what I typed in there. Its so annoying 
as if I make a mistake I can't go to that letter or word as Jaws doesn't read 
till I turn forms mode off.

  Is this a Jaws 7 bug? or can I fix this myself?

  cheers,

  Jim from Oz
