Visual focus indicator is not placed correctly when browser window scrolls (i.e. when jumping to a heading outside the current viewport)

[jmuheim]

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to find a similar issue, but didn't find any. Hope this is no double post.

First make sure you have the visual focus indicator toggled on:

Go to any website that has some heading "below" the current viewport (you would have to scroll to see it). Press h to jump to the heading.

Actual behavior:

The browser scrolls the heading into view, but the visual focus indicator isn't placed correctly on it (or not visible at all, to be more correct).

This is the case in both Chrome and Firefox.

System configuration

Installed NVDA.

NVDA version:

2023.3.0.29780

Windows version:

Windows 11 (running under VMware Fusion 13).

Have you tried any other versions of NVDA? If so, please report their behaviors.

Yes, seems to be a problem for quite some time already.

If NVDA add-ons are disabled, is your problem still occurring?

None installed. It's a very fresh installation of both NVDA and Windows.

Similar to #10672 and #11286 but not totally duplicate. All these issues are related to focus highlight not being updated.

But:

• NVDA's focus highlighting does not correctly track objects that change their position #10672 STR uses mouse actions
• Focus Highlight isn’t always resized when focus window is resized #11286 STR uses a keyboard action which is not an NVDA action
• the current issue uses an NVDA command

The solution for these 3 issues may not be the same.
