It's actually a really handy tool for those who are new to Jaws. Learning what edit fields are, and how they work is something that can be tricky for newcomers to screen readers, especially on websites. I'm just grateful that I have the option to turn it off.

Then I am not in danger of being whisked some place I don't want to be. I then use the PC cursor to get out of forms mode. If I am not sure whether I am in forms mode or not I press the PC cursor key and then the left mouse click key. to enter forms mode. I find using the Jaws left mouse click very satisfactory. I have not tried it with the demo version of Jaws 10 I installed, however.After hearing all the bugs in Jaws 10 I have no intention of ever "upgrading" to it if it can really be called an upgrade. Why would anyone deliberately ask for more problems?
