I just tested the login screen and fields read fine with JAWS in forms mode. Remember this is an HTML screen, so the normal rules for web pages apply: Use forms mode when filling out fields and virtual cursor for reading the entire page.
I am curious about the need to left-click to edit profiles though. Here are the steps I use to edit my profile. Please let me know where the mouse click is necessary for you: 1. Open the Skype menu with Alt+S. 2. Open the Profile submenu with p. 3. Choose the "Edit Your Profile..." option with e. 4. Tab to the beginning of the profile fields, which is the "Change Picture" link. 5. Read and edit fields as I described in an earlier message. Generally you press Space on text fields like mood text, email, etc. to open an edit box for them. Combo boxes and button dropdowns work as they usually do.
