> I have experience using MS Teams some time back and found role="application" on left nave, chat list and chat history regions. This certainly doesn't let users to quit from application mode to browse/ virtual modes using ESCC key. This prohibits the use of quick keys so users can't navigate by headings, landmarks etc when the focus is in those regions. I am against the use of role="application" here instead they can provide that arrow key navigation alone with scripting without application role.

With JAWS press numpad Plus twice quickly to get out of application mode. I agree these situations are problematic even if there is a way to get out.
