I am wondering if this is a web design problem. On most web sites when I hit
left arrow or back space I hear where I am. It is only on a few that I have
this blank problem. But as jerry says he has tested it with jaws 5.1 and above
and finds a problem with jaws.

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.

Hiya all,
I'm running Windows XP home SP2 and Jaws 7 and besides other little bug bears
I've discovered with Jaws 7, I just want to know is anyone else having problems
when typing in an edit box on an internet explorer page and sometimes you go to
backspace to correct a letter and Jaws just says blank blank, yet other times
it reads the letter. 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
