Voice Over in terminal gets into focus loop when holding arrow

[mjbvz]

#42278

Issue Type

Bug

Description

1. Enable voice over
2. In terminal
3. Get a few screens of output
4. Hold VO+left arrow to scroll through it

Expected
This scrolls through lines and continues when you hit top of the screen

Actual
Once we hit the top of the screen, the focus seems to go into a loop:

When pressing the arrow key one at a time instead of holding it down, everything works as expected

@mjbvz to clarify, it didn't "trap" the focus after this happened when you pressed either up or down did it?

@Tyriar No, not for single presses. This only happened when holding the key down to select through multiple elements

[Tyriar]

@mjbvz but if you stop and press the other direction does everything go back to normal or did it get into a corrupted state? If the former then this is as good as we can do AFAIK.

[mjbvz]

Yes, if you stop everything is normal afterwards

Closing then as I couldn't see a way we could fix this, plus it's not disastrous if it happens, the user can just backtrack
