I found exactly that sort of problem with the auto forms mode. I found it a real pain with combo boxes and announcing edit fields. So I just turned it off. I agree with you about fixing problems that didn't really need fixing. I mean, of all the complaints I've ever heard of JAWS, I've never heard one user say "If only they could make forms mode turn on automatically"! So I didn't really see the point to this feature and it seems to create more problems than it solved. In the end I turned it off and very good riddens.

Hi,

Jfw10 pro, XP Pro, IE7

I've noticed this feature isn't all it's cracked up to be in two
personal situations.

Using webmail to access my home account, the log on page has 3 combo
boxes, username, password and display type.

I get the bleep as I land in the first field, but I have to tab once,
then shift tab back before I can activate the choices in the first combo
box, up and down arrows do nothing.

Second minor problem is using my First Direct internet banking log on
sequence. There's 4 security fields I have to fill in random characters
from my password, and once I enter the first one, it goes to the second
field, but it doesn't announce to me which character I need to enter
here. So I have to fiddle back and forth with the tab key to find out
what is required in each field.

This may well be down to poor webpage design where the fields aren't
labelled properly in the html code, but ho hum, sometimes I wonder why
FS go fix something that wasn't that broke.

Anyone else experiencing stuff like this?
