Will do, but annoying having to press extra keys when I didn't want to be in forms mode in the first place. Peter From: G.W.

When I land on a combo box for the first time and open it using Alt-down arrow, JAWS echoes each item normally as I arrow up and down the list. However, if I close the combo box and then reopen it again, JAWS sometimes goes silent as I arrow through the list. I don't recall this problem with JAWS 8 or 9. I reported this to FS, but have not received a reply. ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Moore To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 9:58 AM Subject: Re: JAWS 10 - Auto forms mode I agree 100% with Alice! If it aint broke, don't fix it! ----- Original Message ----- From: alice dampman To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 9:40 AM Subject: Re: JAWS 10 - Auto forms mode I don't think I like the idea of auto forms mode at all. If I want to fill out something, it is so easy to hit enter to get into forms mode, there is no chance of typing something into an edit field unintentionally, I always know whether I'm in forms mode or not, and if for some reason, I'm unsure, all I have to do is press the key combination for the pc cursor to find out. I don't like my computer or its programs to do my thinking for me, and automatically putting me in forms mode when I may not want to be there falls into that category IMO.

However I find it annoying when sometimes it will automatically go in to auto forms mode when you first load up a site. For example EBay or other sites were there is a search box or username field, and the website is designed to put you straight to either of the boxes. JAWS then switches to forms mode as soon as the page has loaded (sometimes even whilst it's loading), and then you can't use your navigation quick keys to move around the page, without having to press down arrow first to get out of forms mode. I'd like to have it so that JAWS wont go in to auto forms mode in situations were the website automatically puts you in an edit field. Anybody else have any comments on this?
