[Low] Screen readers' Focus mode is still active when the preview link is activated #78

When I press the preview link, focus mode is still active both in NVDA and JAWS. This prevents use of the arrow keys to review text. I need to disable focus mode manually. It would be ideal to explore if there are some inherited ARIA roles or properties that are causing this behavior in the functionality that sets focus to the container of each of the SCs previews.

@daniel-montalvo Thanks for the reporting and guidance, have spent some time researching this today.

Does this happen any time you go to a new page, or just when you press a preview link?

The preview is in a table, have you ever seen that trigger focus mode?

For reference: in a Level Access article they say the application and dialog roles in ARIA can cause this. Léonie Watson's post also names tab/tablist roles. I have verified we don't use those.

This issue is currently on hold, because we are awaiting an update in the third party router library we use that improves how fragment ID links are handled.
