Adrian, I hadn't thought of that, but when I just tried it, the documentation reports that jaws should delete the character at the cursor then read the next character gaining focus. It doesn't do that. The documentation also says something about the functionality being controlled by the application which I don't understand.
I guess I will make a report to FS. So annoying!
