Description pmuesbeck 2015-04-23 21:24:23 UTC
Navigation in the preference window is hard using the Voice Over screen reader. While the screen reader sometimes starts with a focus on the upper tab navigation bar (General, Editor, Fonts & Colors, Keymap …), there seems to be no obvious way to get the screen reader focus back on the element once it loses focus, which makes navigating the preferences window difficult. It also seems like that, on repeated opening of the preference window, the focus will automatically be on the search bar.
