When using `role="heading"` and `aria-level`, jumping directly to a specific heading level is buggy in IE

I have added a demo of how to overrule heading levels using ARIA:

http://developer-guide.access4all.ch/en/examples/overrule_heading_levels_using_aria

While playing with it, I noticed that NVDA jumps to headings of all levels when pressing the 1 key. The 2 key seems to work as expected.

Is this a bug in NVDA with IE? In FF it works, and JAWS works in both FF and IE.

Confirmed. It is a bug. The code is looking for an h1 or a role="heading" aria-level="1", but it doesn't account for the fact that aria-level should override the tag. Unfortunately, this is going to be tricky to fix, since we can only match using restricted criteria for quick navigation.

Technical: We can do this with the following matches:

• h1-6 tag with correct aria-level
• hx tag where x is correct level and no aria-level
• role="heading" with correct aria-level
