Hi,
I have also had trouble with form fields with 7.10. Not quite the same as
you I think. What I am finding on a particular banking website is entering
password digits in their individual fields. Normally you automatically
start in field 1, then field 2 etc. but with 7.10 it seems to land on any
random field and it doesn't reliably tell you wich. When I use this website
now I go back to 7.0.
I have also noticed that some of the settings don't seem to have taken
effect with the Merge Utilities function. I might try running it again.
I had trouble with Google some time ago when it kept on interrupting
everytime I went to a new field in a form. I found the problem in
Add/Remove Software. Forgotten what it was called but had "google" in it.
Taking it out sorted it.
Things are not looking good I think with Jaws 7.1 at the moment but it is
still a Beta version so can't moan I suppose.
Regards
David

Hi,
I am finding this new update a bit difficult to get used to. The main
reason is that on a web form, if you are arrowing through the form, Jaws
before 7.10 read out the relevant field, then the edit box etc for you
to put the data into. However, what I am now finding is that Jaws is
reading some sort of attribute on the form entry fields, in addition to
the data which is visible in the browser window, in effect reading the
data out twice for each arrow up/down. It is not therefore easy to
distinguish when you come to the edit field in a form, you have to use
different navigation commands to get you to the next edit field etc.
One clear example on this is at http://www.google.com, where I usually
quickly arrow down until I hear the words "edit", however, now I hear
the words "google search" read out twice, once for the text shown above
the form field, and once again on the form field itself.
Is there any way to turn this feature off, so that I can hear the
description of the field by pressing a key or something?
Also, I realise that Brian has done a script for this, but I find
Outlook a bit annoying when you continually hear the same message read
out if you come to the bottom of the list. If you are viewing a folder
with the new messages coming at the bottom, you don't know when you
reach the bottom of the list easily, because you continually hear the
last message in the list, which makes it seem like that person wrote
loads of messages.
Thanks.
Andrew.
