Bug: Keyboard trap in Rich Text Inline Editor with NVDA in Firefox 3.6 (critical?)

[Justin Obara]

I tried this with the latest nvda snapshot for 2010.2 and Firefox 3.6 on WinXp.

I found that whether I used nvda or not I could appear to get stuck. It seems that what was happening for me was that the toolbar was getting focus but there was no focus styling, and you couldn't tab out. You could however hit "enter" to select an item in the toolbar. This would put you back into the textarea, from which you could tab out. You could also hit "esc", which would close the RichText Inline edit and give you back your proper tab navigation.
