User macros including speech commands execute over time. Unwanted focus switches can produce bad results. In addition, speech users don't necessarily change the focus by moving the mouse -- this makes them more likely to get caught with bad focus changes. 31789 1 cooper 2010-02-11 17:18:38 +0000 The HTML Accessibility Task Force intends to track these issues, per the proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html. 32540 2 ian 2010-02-23 07:11:15 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Did Not Understand Request Change Description: no spec change Rationale: How exactly do you mean "hold off"? Do you mean that the focusing steps should optionally asynchronously wait for a period of time and then change the focus? Or do you mean that focus changes should just be disabled at the user agent's option? 38125 3 cooper 2010-08-28 14:49:39 +0000 http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/44061/20100520_bugs/results#xq9 Close without further action, accepting the current state of the issue.
