I am using IE8 and Jaws 6.2, on: www.google.com and have no problems with focus, edit boxes and buttons. Also, I don't have Google as a home page, and don't use any of their supposed accessibility features. Now, if I switch to Jaws 11 or 12, their seems to be a problem. The above mentioned is why I don't discard older versions of Jaws, the latest isn't always the greatest.
