Re: Is NVDA using the wrong type of widget (tree) to show the headings on a page?

Good observation. It is somewhat confusing.
If the root of the tree is the page (not a heading) and the nesting
level is announced every time you arrow up or down (so "2 for the
first 2, "1") it works a bit like the DOM tree in browsers.
Otherwise a list with headings and levels announced is better (and a
page should not have so many headings that displaying them requires
nesting).
