The popup is triggered when one of the links gains focus, either via tab or arrows, However, it is not announced when tabbing.
You can sort of hear nvda begin to voice it, but then it is cut off by nvda voicing the text inside the "a" element. When you arrow, the text content of the anchor is read first, then nvda voices the popup.
Seems like a bug to me.
Got to say - I love that nvda will read title tags on links - certainly the easiest way of adding small bits of extra info; wish all screen readers did this!

In browse mode, focus changes not triggered by NVDA itself (e.g. mouse or tab key) cause speech to be silenced. This is because generally, page reading should stop when the focus is changed by the browser. I'm not really sure how we could fix this without breaking other use cases.
Imo, this technique isn't particularly ideal. Even if we did fix it, the live region would be read before the link, not after.
It appears that the URL provided as an example no longer exists. @jcsteh, in #2908 (comment) it sounds like you had an opinion about this. Has this changed since the creation of the comment?
I think things have changed in this code since this issue was filed. Nevertheless, now that the test case has gone, this is no longer valid. Closing. If this behaviour is seen elsewhere, this can be reopened.
