I have two disabled buttons and when I read them in Firefox with NVDA,
there is no pause between each button.. Is this a known bug?

<body>
<h1>&#9733; Standalone Test Buttons &#9733;</h1>
<button disabled type="button">Primary</button>
<button disabled type="button">Standard</button>
</body>

If I enable the buttons, NVDA also reads both buttons without a pause at
first, but after that I can navigate between each button and it reads them
separately.

<body>
<h1>&#9733; Standalone Test Buttons &#9733;</h1>
<button type="button">Primary</button>
<button type="button">Standard</button>
</body>

I saw a post from June 2017 that suggests NVDA is having issues with
phrasing content properly, but wasn't sure if the issue I was experiencing
was related.

Hi,
If you check the NVDA browse dialog and it has screen layout checked, this is expected behavior. Usually, when people run NVDA, they uncheck this box, which should put the buttons on separate lines. Press NVDA+CTRL+B to get there quickly.

Thank you, Jim. I wasn't aware of that setting. That fixed it.
