JAWS doesn't work with composer at all

[turt2live]

I send a message, and then I'm paging up, and then I'm filtering members, then I'm at breadcrumbs.

OOI, how badly does the edit message composer fare?

[turt2live]

I couldn't get that far, so couldn't tell you, sorry

CIDER has the same issue. After sending a message the caret is still flashing on the composer but the SR goes into some commands mode so further keypresses are intercepted and not treated as input.

[bwindels]

do you know what makes the screen reader go into command mode? Is it the Enter from sending, or page up as travis described?

[t3chguy]

Enter from sending in my case. Message sent fine, then caret kept blinking and it looked like it was still focused but it was not in compose mode anymore

[bwindels]

Looks like it enters "Forms mode" indeed when hitting enter on a field:

It might just be how enter-to-send/confirm input forms work in JAWS and is desireable to JAWS users

I know a JAWS user, asking him.
