Thanks for the report. Is this a list box or set of radio buttons? if so, it is expected that NVDA will switch to focus mode when you tab to it, in which case the arrows will control selection like they would without a screen reader running.

The NVDA says its a radio button, we can reach them and go through them with the tab key and whatever arrow we selected from the the keyboard will select the Ai model.

Okay. Thanks. Unless I'm misunderstanding, this is expected behaviour: NVDA is switching to focus mode (indicated by an audio cue) because this is a radio button group, so the arrow keys behave as they normally would without NVDA running, changing the selected radio button. A user could switch back to browse mode if they wished by pressing escape or NVDA+space.
