JAWS "Select a Button" dialog behavior

July 1, 2016 12:00 AM

I'm trying to find the expected behavior of the "Select a Button" dialog in JAWS. I bring it up to list all of my buttons, then arrow to a certain one. Enter selects the button, and closes the dialog, and my button shows that it is selected. Pressing Enter a second time fires the button. Is this the correct behavior, or should the button fire once it is selected from the dialog?

@tea, i believe that is the correct behavior of that dialog box - simply moving the JAWS "virtual cursor" to the selected button. The user then needs to trigger the selected button. The radio button and check box buttons selectors (CTRL+INSERT+R, CTRL+INSERT+X) work the same way.
