Does this occur in all html screens on all browsers? Are you sure the window you see is not some artifact of the win 7 theme? I'm told these transparent windows that block access can be removed by using the classic theme rather than the windows 7 theme, but have not actually tried it yet.
It would be helpful if you could go through exactly what you need to do to duplicate the issue including what pages and what software etc.

Hi,
I again wasn't as detailed enough before reporting this issue, this is not specific to the Elements List dialog actually, but with all NVDA dialogs (currently tested with Elements List, General Settings, Voice Settings and Browse Mode)
Steps to reproduce
Ensure that NVDA 2014.4 stable is running.
Press NVDA Ctrl V (for VOice Settings as an example) in any situation, and without necessarily making any changes in the Voice Settings, press Escape and your focus will move to the NVDA window.
one more thing, since this NVDA window is staying permanently, can I do something to run from the System Tray and not appear as a window? Has this feature request already been covered in another ticket or something?
Thanks

One more update.
I have restarted my computer, and now there is no NVDA window, so focus doesn't jump to the wrong place.
Question Why is there sometimes an NVDA window and sometimes not?
I guess this issue is based on the above question.

The NVDA window is never supposed to be visible. For technical reasons, we need it, but it should never be visible. In some rare circumstances, this used to become visible, but we worked around this some time ago. It is therefore rather concerning that you're seeing this.

Can you reproduce this at all now? Are you running any add-ons or other software that might be interfering with NVDA's GUI?

Hi,
A few more questions:

• Does NVDA window appear when you restart NVDA? If it appears every time NVDA restarts, what happens if you restart with add-ons disabled?
• Is this specific to a particular version of Windows? I ask because I've seen this when using Windows 7.
  Thanks.

Hi,
No, the NVDA window doesn't appear everytime, in fact its appearance is rare, but when it does appear, it certainly is there.
Yes, I am using Windows 7 32 bit, and I have only used different Windows 7 32 bits, such as Ultimate and Starter, currently I am talking about Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
I am using the following add-ons:
List of systray and taskbar elements version 1.4
Insert Symbols version 1.0
Enhancement of Poedit Access version 3.3
Ocr version 0.2....
NV Speech Player version Master
Dropbox version 3.1
ClipText Manager 1.0 dev
Could any of the above be the culprit?
When I next encounter the NVDA window, this is what I'll do;
Restart NVDA
If the window still appears, restart with add-ons disabled.
If the NVDA window still appears then I'll report here.
Are the above the correct steps to take?
Thanks

Hi,
Today, I encountered the NVDA window, and the focus jumping from Elements List to NVDA window issue once again.
I restarted NVDA (without add-ons disabled) and the window disappeared.
Thanks.

I have not seen this problem in a very long time using Windows 10 or 8.1. @bhavyashah, are you still experiencing this problem on occasion or does it still happen on Windows 7? CC @jcsteh for any technical input.
