Description Markus Keller CLA 2012-05-07 11:25:31 EDT
In 3.8 M7, the VoiceOver cursor follows the focused widget when I change the focus e.g. by clicking another part, pressing Ctrl+Tab, or using Show In > ... .

In 4.2 M7, it usually stays on the original widget and only moves on
VO-<arrowKey>. Even with VO-<arrowKey>, I usually cannot reach the inside of other parts.

The VoiceOver text is usually fine and e.g. reads editor lines although the VO cursor is still on another widget. The context menu (VO-Shift-M doesn't work in such cases (it usually targets the old VO location).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
