For me, that started with Jaws version 6. With each upgrade or update, techies at Freedom Scientific have promised the next version would cure the problem, so I wait again for the next version. A couple of things might help. Maximize the window. Try selecting the blank space. Sometimes this sets things right. The foolproof work-around is to keep Jaws 5.1 on a hot key and switch back to it.

I know for a fact what I have typed is there as when I turn off the forms mode it reads to me what I typed in there. Its so annoying as if I make a mistake I can't go to that letter or word as Jaws doesn't read till I turn forms mode off. Is this a Jaws 7 bug? or can I fix this myself? cheers, Jim from Oz
