@lukaszgo1 are you still seeing this issue with NVDA 2024.1 on Firefox 124 and Windows 8.1 or higher?

This is still reproducible on Windows 10 22H2, Firefox Nightly 126 with NVDA alpha-31555,7bfe7137. It is probably a Firefox issue, rather than an NVDA one, though it would be nice to get confirmation from @jcsteh

@lukaszgo1 can you confirm this happens when braille is tethered to focus (or to focus when tethered to automatic) but it does not occur if braille is tethered to review?

May #16314 be somewhat relative with this issue?

I can confirm this is the case for me.
