[nvda] IE7

I noticed a strange effect today.
If you attempt, or accidentally, as I did, to select the system menu, it will not speak. I gather this is a well known mess up by Microsoft, but one would expect a few esc chars to get you back to the page, well it won't. It needs, or so it appears, the alt key to be pressed, at which point a jumbled truncated lot of talk occurs then esc will get you back to normal.
With regard to pages. Some pages appear with focus mode turned on, and I have a feeling that this is due to edit fields on those pages, but not where you are, ie at the top. Any attempt to hit cursor up or down then generates an error sound until you select browse mode. Sometimes it does not tell you its in focus mode though.
I found some of Microsoft pages on windows updates were very prone to this problem. I hav belarc advisor on my machine and its easy to demonstrate this problem by letting it produce its page of details, then going down to the hotfixes etc, part and taking one of the links called details. This takes you to the page describing that update. Nine times out of ten it will end up in focus mode for no reason, except there is always that questionnaire at the bottom of course.
