JAWS throttles keydown events #53

Closed jessegreenberg closed 7 years ago

jessegreenberg commented 7 years ago

Even for letter keys, not sure what is going on. Here is a jsfiddle to test.

Actually, the stream of events looks good in that fiddle with JAWS.

It mangles the events from the arrow keys, but events from the letter keys are looking good. https://jsfiddle.net/xj0gu8sL/1

So this is seeming like a performance problem in BASE

If I comment out setting of accessibel descriptions things are still a bit slow in FF but it is fast enough to pick up charges in BASE. So this is a performance issue. Closing.
