Hi Ram,

Using NVDA and FF we always encounter this. I don't think you can do
something to fix it. We earlier used to treat this as empty tab stop but
later realized that is a browser bug than a developer problem.
Try navigating the page with tab in forms mode (insert space bar) , you
will not see the empty tab stop at the beginning of the frame.
Finally in my thought you need to flag it as user agent defect.
