Hi all,

I am having some issues with edit boxes with jaws 11 and the latest
version of Internet Explorer -- running 64 bit Win 7 and jfw 11 but 32
bit version of IE.

For some reason, it seems like on specific sites too, whenever I try
to navigate in an edit box with the arrow keys when I've written more
than one line of text... it'll just read the last line of text and
then when I arrow up, it goes out of forms mode. When I arrow down to
get back into the box, it goes back to forms mode but when I arrow up
again it doesn't go up a line, it just goes out of forms mode again.

Has this happened to anyone else and, if so, is there any way to fix
it? I've worked around it by typing my msg in WordPad and then
copy/pasting it into the edit box I am writing in but it's just a bit
of a pain; especially since I don't know which boxes will work and
which won't. (Facebook Mobile gives me problems but gmail doesn't...
some blogger edit boxes do as well.) This has just happened in the
past week and I've been running with this setup for several months --
haven't had any major updates either.

Thanks in advance for any help!

-Marc
