Re: automatic tab activation sample from ARIA Practices document with current Jaws behaviour

I have auto forms mode set to auto as well, and I get the same experience
with ARIA tablists, of not automatically entering forms mode when tabbing
to one with JAWS. I just hit Enter when focused on one of the tabs and that
triggers forms mode. From there things work as expected. I feel like it has
behaved this way for some time for me.
