Re: Quantity spinbox

Hadi, thank you for the update.

That is correct; the expected JAWS behavior is that JAWS switches to forms
mode when the spin button gets focus. So, you do have to press numpad plus
or capslock+; for the VC commands in test 3.

There have been times when the bot runner doesn't successfully complete
activation of the correct JAWS mode before capturing the output. So, thank
you for updating the JAWS response field if the bot didn't capture the
correct output.
