Re: [orca-list] Experimental focus versus browse mode committed to master

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza <vilmar informal com br>]

Hi joanie, congratulations, an excelente job.

I found a small problem, or not!

Go to https://grails.org/plugins/?filter=featured&offset=10&max=10 and 
press alt+shift+k.
Type cr and press enter. Orca jumps to a link called create account and 
reads focus mode.
Press tab and orca announce the next link followed by a browse mode message.
Press shift+tab and orca reads create account followed by a focus mode 
message.
Is this the expected behavior, change to focus mode in a link even when 
the previous element was a link?
Thanks.
