JP,

Just Out of curiosity, I installed VS Community on a Win 10 standalone machine. When using JAWS focus seemed to get stuck on certain buttons. I muted JAWS, and started NVDA. Tabbing seemed to resolve the navigation issue. After closing NVDA and restarting JAWS, progress and navigation seemed to announce ok.

This is a rich interface containing a lot of information. There were times, where I thought I was stuck, but the interface is slow due to the amount of elements on screen and amount of data being added to the hard drive. Nonetheless, the interface is a bit quirky, and I could see how configuration could affect the screen reader's interpretation. Throw in a VM, and the complexity and quirkiness could increase.

Hope this feedback helps.
