Hi Lou, I can confirm your findings. Here’s what I do to get around this for now.
1. After activating a link in the first frame, press tab until you reach an item in the other frame. 2. If it is a link you wish to affect, press return after tabbing to it. This is where things get inconsistent. Sometimes, I can Interact with whatever I’ve tabbed to and then VO focus restores but not as often as I’d like. It appears that when using VO navigation, including the Item Chooser, most of the elements aren’t being noticed by VO. If you tab though, they are workable, but not really in a VO way. What I mean here, is that using VO commands makes it lose focus again whereas using OS commands like tab and return will perform the task. I’ve also noticed that, only sometimes, a Refresh of the page will help. So, overall, I probably have only confirmed your findings and only given you half-baked work-arounds. Hope it helped a little.
