The user is unexpectedly dropped into focus mode on Twit.tv

[derekriemer]

1. Visit https://twit.tv/shows/security-now
2. Press e to go to the edit field for subscribe.
   Hint, leave focus mode, arrow up a bit, and try to down arrow again until you land in the field.

Expected: the edit role is read, the user can press enter to enter focus mode.

Actual:
the user is put into focus mode.
Relevant settings in browse mode:

• Automatic focus mode for focus changes
• Automatic focus mode for caret movement

While using a recent next build of NVDA (version next-13749,4be7ee9e).

In Chrome (Version 54.0.2840.99) and Firefox (Version 50.0.2) for the first few edit fields I seem to get the expected behaviour. I can press enter to enter focus mode.

However for the "choose a provider" edit field (however there are a few labeled this way) I get the same behaviour you describe. This seems to only happen when you arrow up as far as "close menu"

The problem here is that the Choose a provider label is actually focusable and it throws focus to the edit field when it gets focus. The label shouldn't be focusable, nor should it throw focus somewhere else. Poor authoring notwithstanding, this is becoming more common (there are a few issues about this already) and we're going to need to deal with it somehow. This should get fixed as part of #2039, so I'm closing as a duplicate.
