[orca-list] Orca's curious behavior, I don't know if it's a bug

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

Hi all.


I use a very old web application that has a form with the following fields:

Date, start time, end time and activity.


To help explain the problem, let's assume that the fields have the 
following values:



date = "29/10/2019"

start time = "19:00"

end time = ""

activity = 123


When I move the focus to the first field, date, orca announces its title 
and value and says the field is selected.


When I move the focus to the second field pressing tab, start time, orca 
announces its title and value and says the field is selected.

After announcing that the field is selected, orca announces unselected 
followed by the text 29/10/2019, which is the value of the date field.

If I press the tab key the focus is moved to the end time field that is 
empty. Only the title of the field is announced.


If I again press the tab key the focus is moved to the activity field. 
The value and title of the field are announced followed by the 
information that the value is selected. Next orca announces unselected 
followed by the text 09:00 which is the value of the start time field.

Start time is the second field and activity, the actual field is the 
fourth field.


I don't know if I could explain comprehensively, but to summarize the 
problem seems to be as follows:


When focus is moved from one field to another and for some reason the 
value of that field is selected, orca announces the value of the 
previous field that has a value as unselected.


Unfortunately I do not have a public application that can be used to 
demonstrate the problem but I think I can save the html and send it by 
email. I can also capture a debug to try to demonstrate the problem.


Thanks in advance.
