The success criterion states "focusable components receive focus in an order that preserves meaning and operability". If there are only one or two components that receive focus when they should not, my view is that neither the meaning nor operability are significantly impaired, so I just recommend that they are made non-focusable.

However, if a lot of components receive focus when they should not, my view is that this impairs the operability so I report a non-conformance. We see this an awful lot with e-learning systems, but virtually nowhere else.
