Re: JAWS reading headings that break twice

Jaws announces headings containing <br> tags as a single line when
navigating by the "h" key or using the headings list (JawsKey-F6).
Only while navigating the virtual buffer with the arrow keys, does
Jaws read the individual lines inside the heading.
(tested with Jaws14 and IE10/FF21).
This behavior makes sense to me, but what makes sense to me is not
always what makes sense to everyone else *grin*.
