Neil: Even though I'm using IE 10 here, I'm basically in the same boat as you are.
My hope is that Jaws 17 will fix the issue with IE 11, so that we can all upgrade relatively problem free. Normally, I would think the issue was totally on my end here, but since neither FS nor the Microsoft Accessibility hotline people could help resolve my issue with the forms field edit boxes, I think the problem is something larger. Interestingly, a number of others are successfully using IE 11 with Jaws 16, and don't seem to have the issue I'm having. So, I'm not exactly sure what more to say at this time.

Two people have tried to upgrade to something higher than IE 9. Neither was successful. One of those techs was at the MS Accessibility desk. They got IE 11, but it was unuseable, as in could not use the bank web site plus others. I called MS back to roll it back to IE 9. Now, I have no problems. Not sure what I am going to do with this news!

Beginning on that date, IE 10 and earlier will no longer be supported for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. So now may be a good time to upgrade to IE 11 if you have not already done so, or consider switching to Firefox full time if you are having trouble with IE 11.
