hi all
Works fine here. It also fixes the issue with my router setup page. No
more jumping all over  the place, yay. While I'm here, would it
please, please be possible to take a look at thunderbird? It lags very
badly while scrolling through the list of emails, and while typing. It
sometimes even stops responding when you type. Ok, to be more clear,
it still types, but orca stops announcing new characters.
Thanks
Kendell clark

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.
