[orca-list] Very Strange Issue with Setting Vocus in firefox

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

> I just created a new version of headingslist (version 1.1):
> http://www.mit.edu/~rjc/headingslist-1.1.xpi
>
> The issue I'm having is that if I provide shortcuts for next/previous 
> heading, they do not seem to work unless focus is moved away from the 
> document first, then the focus is set to the heading within the document. 
> I learned this because everything was working fine if I issued an alert() 
> just prior to setting focus to the heading. If I simply moved to the 
> heading without the alert, nothing appeared to happen (maybe focus 
> visually moved, but I can't say).  ALso, maybe the issue is jaws specific.
>
> So, version 1.1 sets focus to the menubar just prior to setting it to the 
> heading. I can't notice the extra focus() - jaws just instantly moves me 
> to the correct heading.
>
> Question: what happens in ora with version 1.0 and 1.1?  Note that 1.1 
> uses different shortcut keys since I thought that was the issue (alt+n and 
> alt+p).
