The text you type for the first message actually does appear in the box, but JAWS can't see it. This is apparently caused by a problem between JAWS itself and Skype related to how Skype presents that field. I don't have details, but I discussed this with Freedom Scientific in some detail months ago. I attempted to work around it via scripting but caused other undesirable side effects by doing so. I do not have a solution to this problem myself, and I expect Skype and/or FS will have to fix this one.
I work around this by typing in Notepad and then pasting into Skype if I have a long message to send.

When I initiate a chat I notice that the first message I type does not appear in the edit field even though when I press the enter key the message I typed is sent. Then after that the typing does appear in the edit field. I am using the latest scripts with latest version of skype. This was also happening in the previous version of skype.
