If you have improperly coded pages you may need to use manual or semi. For example, an improperly coded ARIA based drop down where you want to use arrow keys to move up and down in a custom list but JAWS kicks you out of forms mode when down arrow is pressed. I've also run into issues with getting stuck in edit fields in the past but that seems to be much improved.
