'Next Text Field' commander may not always work on some websites

Category
Safari
Severity
Moderate

Description

11. In Safari, on certain webpages, a commander set up to jump to next text field will skip the website's search field. With such a commander in place, open www.applevis.com, go to the top of the page, and run the command. VoiceOver will jump to the location bar, ignoring the text field on the page. We have found the same behavior with the search field on www.bookshare.org, and this problem appears linked to the text input bug in iOS9.0 where some text fields in Safari seem to refuse text. That is, the same fields skipped by VO commanders in this version of OS X are the ones that cause text input problems in iOS 9.0.
