To add to that. I notice that sometimes focus mode comes after the mode has been changed by however long some text takes to speak. Maybe if focus mode was spoken before the text, which one assumes is there to advise extra details about ehe edit area, was spoken, it might make more sense. Yet sometimes I hear edit as well and sometimes its not actuall in the edit field at that time.
Its all a bit random. Can anyone else see these effects?

Hello,

I get this with NVDA as well on my system. Windows 7 64-Bit running IE 10.

Thank you.

There is another ticket which I cannot find just now on this subject where Jamie explains that if focus mode was the last mode used, the core of nvda will remember it and not stsay focus mode if it was the last mode.

Thus we have the problem where it might be in the edit field and not saying focus mode because of this, or it might not be in the field, but says nothing and when you start to type it picks up the first single key navigation key and jumps there instead.
What I'd really like is a third selection in the browse mode settings to do with the automation of browse and focus mode, which says alway announce current mode at a new page or after a jump or tab or k etc, so we know its actually where it says it is. at the moment I have to cursor out and back to see if its working when going to the next form input field on a page. I have no idea what exactly is going on when its in neither focus nor browse mode and yet the single key navigation still work. its not browser specific though.

@Brian1Gaff Does this still occur at your end?

@bRendon22, @Brian1Gaff this might also be an issue related to soundcard which might go in standby after two seconds or so. Do you encounter this issue also with other words? let's say when navigating by headings in browse mode or so?

We do not hhave an update from the initial author since two years. @Brian1Gaff if you are still having this issue, please comment on it. Are you seeing this issue also with other words (i.e. quick navigation in browsers)?
For now I am closing this one as works for me because I cannot reproduce it and I didn't hear any other user reports about this specific issue. I guess it is related to the sound card which switches to standby every few seconds. This can be solved by installing the addon audio bluetooth. An issue related to the sound card behavior is already on Github.
