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

Hi Clare;
I have been looking into this further.
I have checked prior releases of Jaws.
The release for Jaws 2022 which came out in November 2022 does work as expected with the ARIA tab examples.
I think at this point I will stop using the incremental updates for Jaws and download each new release instead. At least this way I can revert to the previous release if necessary.
I can't help but wonder if the previous update Prior to the April update was broken as well.

Also I looked into the Virtual cursor setting that Robin mentioned for chrome. This did not fix the issue, but it does sound like a handy thing for Chrome users who want to maintain their virtual cursor settings for a particular application.
Thanks
David
