Hey again Kyle, all.

Sorry for the delay. Been a weird one.... I have just committed a 
candidate fix for the DuckDuckGo problem to master. If you and
others could pull master and let me know if the behavior is what
you'd expect and want, that would be great. If it is -- or at least
if it's a significant improvement without any noticeable
regressions, I commit the change to the 3.14 branch.

On to YouTube! <smiles> --joanie

Yes, automatic focus mode when using structural navigation
appears to solve part of the problem, but a different bug may be
causing most of the problems I'm having. Going to 
https://duckduckgo.com/ puts me on the search box and switches to
focus mode automatically. However, Orca very soon says "finished
loading DuckDuckGo," and typing into the textbox starts taking me
all over the page. I'm also seeing strange behavior in Youtube,
where I am only allowed to type two to three letters into the
search box before it kicks me out of focus mode and has me
navigating again. I often find myself having to press extra 
keystrokes to be sure I'm in focus mode or make it sticky in
these situations, in which case, I have to be sure I've turned it
off again once I'm done with it, which is a major slowdown by the
time I realize what I'm doing wrong. I apologize for such strong
words regarding the focus mode, but I have yet to see anything
similar that didn't decrease my productivity on websites. The
problems I have here are quite similar to problems I had in other
screen readers some years back in other operating systems that
implemented such strategies, and it has always caused frustration
when I end up somewhere different from where I should be. Thanks
for any help resolving these issues.
