Right. It is at a particular site or two. It jumps up and bites when 
least suspected. That is why it's so hard for FS to replicate the 
problem.

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
