Hi all,



I hope many of us have been using NVDA for long. I do not use it very often
personally, unless there arises any serious need. Like in my office, we have
to do testing in all possible scenarios on all possible platforms using all
screen readers including NVDA. Now, many a times, I get stuck on websites
with dialog boxes and pop-ups. Suppose there is a 'Table of Contents' button
on a page, hitting of which brings up a dialog box having table contents.
But NVDA would not read the same until Insert+SpaceBar is pressed. Should I
treat this as an accessibility issue? Because, I've seen some websites
wherein focus directly moves to the rellavant area and we can easily
navigate through the page with arrow keys, as we do in browse mode.
