Comment 5 by jteh on 2011-06-19 23:37 Interestingly enough, if you hit ctrl+t and then tab to the document before pressing ctrl+w, things work as expected. If you hit ctrl+t, tab to the document, tab back to the location bar and then hit ctrl+w, things break. From this, we can generalise this bug: it happens if you were last in the navigation toolbar when you close the tab. This is definitely a Mozilla bug. I'll file one soon. |

Comment 7 by briang1 on 2011-06-20 06:30 Maybe I'm lucky in having a slow machine! |
Comment 8 by briang1 on 2011-06-27 11:14 It is irritating though, and as it works fine in 3.6.18, I guess its either a far to fast event for nvda to see it, or a bug in their code. |

That's a different bug: MozillaBug:644452. |

I've experienced this several times now, but have only figured out what causes it to occur. I'm unsure at this time whether it's an NVDA or Firefox bug, but thought it'd be best to create a ticket in either case. Currently running snap 4338, so apoligies if anything has been fixed between this and 4475.
Here's how to reproduce. I've used Google in this example, but the same behaviour can be seen when entering data into any text form. I'm running Firefox 4, so am not sure if this is present in Firefox 3.6.X (although I never saw it)
Expected results: NVDA should return focus to the previous document, and read text as normal.
Actual result: when using any combination of the arrow keys to read text, no speech feedback is given, and the only way to return focus is to Alt-Tab back to the window.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
