Hello,
If you arrow using ctrl+right until you hear the tab you would like and hit
enter, it will switch to that tab.
But change screen layout to not show and everything will be on one line.
The same problem happens if there are two links on one line or across the
top of the page (like on m.facebook.com).
The issue is that NVDA reads screen layout by default and it should not be
default.
Thanks,
