3.2.1 On focus

Hi all,

I am back with a doubt regarding 3.2.1 On focus.
If a screen reader user reaches at a radio group, it will change to
focus or forms mode from virtual or browse mode. SoThen, using arrow
keys, they can navigate through each options. But, with the
navigation, based on the focus the respective radio button will be
selected. This is the behavior of radio buttons with screen reader.

Just imagine, a group of radio buttons have provided to choose any of
the features. "Decline features" is the last option in the radio
group. Thus, when the Decline features option receives focus, it will
get selected and an overlay will open - similarly an alert dialogue
box such as Are you sure do you want to decline features?.

Is it a failure of On focus.


Or can we leave it since it is an alert dialogue box?
