Issue Description
Expectation
Not flag off-screen skip-links that come in on
:focusas "skipped in tab order".Actual
Depending on where focus is placed prior to the test, the Keyboard IGT will flag an off screen skip link, built as per the university entry for skip links, in step 3 as "skipped in tab order".
How to Reproduce
Clicking anywhere in the page to place focus on the page (but not a control!) results in the skip link not being picked up in step 1, and in step 3 the question is asked if there is an alternative. Screenshot is missing, but highlighting reveals it is the skip-link that is being flagged.
Placing focus in the browsers url-bar (i.e. focus starts definitely before the skip link) still results in the skip-link not being detected.
Making sure a control is focused triggers the initial question to start testing from the top of the page. Answering 'yes' here, causes the skip link to be found without issues and no problems are flagged.
