press ctrl + J to focus the downloads list

NVDA says library. I need to press shift + tab to focus and read the list.


Expected results:

NVDA should focus and read the first item in the list.

Confirmed. Happens with both 32 bit and 64 bit.

Focus lands on the window element with id places. Instead, initial focus should be set to the richlistbox with id downloadsRichListBox.

I seem to recall that this is a regression, but it appears to be the case in 56 at least.

It seems I was incorrect about this being present in Firefox 56.

Hi Paolo! Bug 1381411 seems to have broken initial focus in the Downloads Library view. STR:

1. Ensure you have at least one download in your list.
2. Ensure the Library window is closed.
3. Press control+j to open the Downloads Library window.
Expected: The Downloads list (id: downloadsRichListBox) should get focus.
Actual: It doesn't. Focus lands on the window (id: places).

Curiously, if the downloads list is empty, it *does* get focus as expected.

Any ideas as to how this might have regressed?

[:Paolo Amadini]

I don't know why this has regressed, but it should probably be fixed at some point.

Comment 6

[:Paolo Amadini]

I might find some time to look into this in the next few days.

We have to keep track of the focused element while remove the richlistbox element temporarily.
