Hi jon, thanks for the response

Here, I am trying to explain the complete scenario
1. Open the powerpoint.
2. Press enter on the blank presentation.
3. Once the presentation opens, press tab until the screen reader says
bizness presentation.
4. Press the right arro to move on 4th or 5th item.
5. Now, press home key.

For your information, when you press home, the focus will be on new tab.

In my opinion, the focus has to be on the 1st item of the list.

The Testing environment are as follows

1. Jaws or narrator [latest.]
2. Windows 10.
3. Office 16.
