I've noticed the same thing in the latest NVDA releases, they seem to have backtracked in Tabs interaction support. Would anybody like to file a bug? I won't be able to personally until sometime next week.

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
