Hi everyone,

I've been looking into this, and before I comment I was wondering if I'm
getting the correct results from NVDA?

On the test page for ARIA tabs here:
http://a11yideas.com/testcode/tabs/tabs_with_ARIA.html

Arrowing through, when you get to the tabs they are announced, but all read
out in one go, you can't move between them. The tab panel is not announced,
and there is no way of selecting a tab without manually going into forms
mode.

Tabbing through, selecting a tab with the arrow keys does work, but then
you have to manually exit forms mode.

It is really filddly compared to Jaws/VoiceOver, it just doesn't seem right.

I'm using Windows 10 (in VMWare), NVDA (latest) with Firefox (latest) or
IE11.

What do others get?

Cheers,

-Alastair
