Jonathon;

This sounds similar to a defect that I found with Adobe Captivate.

When you read an HTML5 page produced by Adobe Captivate using either JAWS or
NVDA you hear the word "Clickable" at the end of each line regardless of
whether the line's content is clickable.

This happens because the entire screen is clickable. All of the content is
contained within an element called "div_Slide" which has on it an "onClick"
JavaScript event. Everything on the screen, (headings, text, etc.), is
considered by any browser to be a child of div_Slide and therefore
clickable.

As an example if you click on a heading which you consider to be not
clickable you are actually clicking on div_Slide which may not or may not
actually do something.
