With JAWS 10 and auto forms mode, I notice that sometimes, when I am entering a password, for example, that the first character or two are sometimes chopped off, even though I know that I typed them. I think that JAWS is the culprate, because it doesn't happen with another screen reader. Perhaps the culprate might be auto forms mode. I should check and see if it happens with auto forms mode disabled. Andy

Each version often contains a growing pains period where things get ironed out I imagine. For me at least I favor the old method of turning on forms mode when I need it rather than JAWS doing it for me. It's a personal choice kind of thing. I am glad that the new feature in tandem will play the sounds when auto forms mode is activated because some times I forget that other folks like to use it and it stumbles me for a minute until I recall that fact. Believe me I have used tandem quite a lot for somebody who isn't officially employed to do it but instead just being a good Samaritan.

I try to find the one to check, then I check it and then immediately go to the virtual cursor so that hopefully, it doesn't become unchecked. It's a problem for me as well.
