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.

Subject: JAWS 10 - Auto forms mode
Hi, I love the new auto forms mode. 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?
Peter
