NVDA on Google Chrome / Mircrosoft Edge randomly fails when i press Enter from Keyboard on button element

YogendraJainDTDL commented 2 weeks ago

An issue occurs when a user navigates back to a previous page using the browser's back functionality (history.go(-1)), and then tries to interact with a button on the newly loaded page (such as pressing "Enter"). Sometimes, the button press results in an error with no action being performed. This behavior is inconsistent and happens intermittently, sometimes working as expected and other times not.

When the user presses "Enter" on a button after navigating back, the following error is observed in the console:

ERROR executing script: <bound method ...> with gesture 'enter' Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "scriptHandler.py", line 300, in executeScript 
File "browseMode.py", line 691, in script_activatePosition 
File "browseMode.py", line 706, in _focusLastFocusableObject 
File "virtualBuffers/gecko_ia2.py", line 357, in _shouldSetFocusToObj 
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'role'

Steps to Reproduce:

On a page with a list of 4 options (each option is a button inside a <ul><li><button /></li></ul>). click on an option via the keyboard [Press Enter].
After being redirected to the selected option’s page, click the back button via the keyboard [Press Enter] (history.go(-1)) to return to the previous page.
After navigating back, click on one of the options again, but nothing happens, and the above error is logged.

Note: The issue is intermittent, sometimes the interaction works as expected, and other times the error occurs.

and it starts working if I toogle the Mode means Pres Insert + Spacebar .

Hi @YogendraJainDTDL. Thanks for reporting this. Seems that the attached file is a screenshot. Many developers are blind and we will appreciate if a description of images or text files are also provided. You can follow these instruction to attach a log file. Also, I think it would be useful if you can provide links to sample webpages to reproduce this issue, especially considering that this happens intermitently. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Also, if you are comfortable modifying and restoring NVDA settings, you may try to see if this happens when UIA is enabled for Chrome and Edge, in advanced settings. I don't know if this may be relevant or not, but you may want to test it.
