I have a related question regarding tab panels.

I am currently testing a page where there are four tabs. When in the Focus mode of NVDA, on selecting a tab and pressing the Tab key, the contents of the tab panel are not read out. NVDA merely says 'Property page'. However, on selecting a tab in the Browse/Document mode, on pressing the Tab key, NVDA reads out the contents of the tab panel. Should this not work in the Focus mode as well?

In the following example, the tab panel contents are not read out in the Focus mode:

Many thanks.
