I've been having a browse mode issue with certain types of combo boxes.
Forgive me for not knowing their exact name, but I'm referring to those
combo boxes that automatically go to a new page as soon as you select
something. I've become used to pressing alt+down arrow to open the list,
then selecting something, and pressing enter. After this is done,
however, though I hear the progress of the new loading page, nothing is
spoken until I press something. For example, the arrow keys. Then, when
at last I do press something, it acts as though Browse mode is just now
turning on. I've experimented with this to make sure it wasn't simply a
coincidence. I selected something, and waited several seconds beyond
what I believed it would take to load the page. I was hearing no
progress reports either, so I pressed an arrow key, and about a half
second later, it completed loading.
Also, another problem I forgot to express before. This could perhaps
relate to the Eloquence issues people are experiencing. When filling out
a form, (the form this occured on was the Script Central Sign Up form),
one cannot type too fast. If you type quickly and then press the tab
key, I've found that the information for the next field isn't read to
you. You hear nothing at all, in fact. This threw me off when filling
out the form, causing me to have to shift-tab back to the previous item,
then tab again to the next. At any rate, I think I have now covered all
the issues I've noticed.

Hey All,
Is any one else experiencing flaky browse mode in 7 beta. I
posted the problem earlier. It doesn't happen all the time, but
it does happen for all applications that use browse mode:
Firefox, Thunderbird, Eudora, Windows Help and Acrobat Reader.
It either stops speaking when navigating (using the arrow keys,
browse mode hot keys or tab), but control-shift-w and similar
read window keys work or it is reading a page different than what
is in the client area and then control-shift-w and
control-shift-r read the same page the navigation keys are
reading which is different than that displayed.
The problem seems to happen most often when the application is
first launched or after switching back from another application.
