I am encountering an issue with Window - Eyes. When I press the Alt + Tab keys to switch between applications and re-switch to the HTML page is navigating using Window - Eyes I hear the number of headings, links and on clicks. And I need to navigate from the top.
Has anybody on the list encountered a similar issue? If so, can you please tell me how to resolve this issue I would like to know more information about 'On Clicks'. Thanks and regards, Silpa.
