Subject: Jaws 13 (and 14 beta) issues with auto forms mode.
No previous message | Next message →

Hi,

Wanted to ask if any of you are seeing issues with Jaws 13 (or 14 beta)
switching to auto forms mode on FF (13, 15)?
For eg: if I tab to a button that launches a dropdown menu, Jaws doesn't
automatically switch to forms mode and arrow
key navigation breaks for the menu. It works if I just use the keyboard.

I also see this behavior with a combobox.

Thanks!

Hi:

I've experienced similar issues when radio buttons and or combo boxes are within a fieldset.

By the way I'm using JAWS 13.

I reported the issue to Freedom Scientific and they asked me to try Jaws 14
beta, downgrade from FF 15 to 13, none of which worked.
I had to manually switch to forms mode to navigate through menus,
comboboxes etc.
