Indeed. I did not retest stable recently but it did not happen for all 
the users I know

I dont reproduce on orca stable, so yes, seems to affect master.

> only? Are there concrete steps I can use to reproduce the problem?

Not all pages, but frequently. for example, press alt-d and enter 
avh.asso.fr

When the page opens, the caret seems to go to a weird place where arrow 
keys do not work. The only solution to get it work is pressing tab. 
Another solution: ctrl-home and arrow keys. the thing is that when the 
cursor is blocked, I cannot press h to browse the headings. Also you can 
sii this entering a new search on startpage.com.

For the combo box, I especially experience this on Dolibarr. A trial can 
be done here:
https://demo.dolibarr.org/comm/propal/card.php?id=1437&save_lastsearch_values=1 
(demo and demo for login and pass)

Here, if I try adding a new free line on the proposal, I have no Orca 
feedback when I enter the description after I choose wether it is a 
service or a product. It worked before. And you have combo boxes, eg. to 
choose a product, and going in a such combo box is somewhat hard.

Best regards,
