Hi,
Use Internet Explorer 9 with Windows 7.

The About box of my NVDA says 2013.1, although I updated it once since I got this version.

Go to http://en.wikipedia.org.

Go to the top of the page.

Start to press the letter f to jump to form fields.

NVDA stops on other items besides form fields on this page for some reason.

Thanks for reporting.

This is due to more IE MSAA stupidity. It looks like headings with a tabindex get an MSAA role of ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT. They're obviously focusable, so using MSAA alone, they look exactly like editable text fields.

Is this specific to version 9 of Internet Explorer or does this bug persist with more recent versions of IE as well? If it is specific to IE9, I would suggest closing this as WontFix, but if this issue is applicable to IE 11, I would suggest assigning this ticket a low priority. If the scope of this ticket includes other modern browsers however, we might want to give it more serious consideration.

Just tested this by going to https://en.wikipedia.org/ in Firefox, Chrome, IE 11, and Edge. When I press F, NVDA appropriately moves to the form fields on the page. Closing as worksforme
