Bug 147983 – Impossible to set focus in context menu using JavaScript (after listening for the tap and hold event.

• Status: NEW
• Component: Accessibility

[Birkir R. Gunnarsson]

When using the tap and hold event to bring up an element's custom context menu, the
Voiceover focus cannot be programmatically set to the desired element
when the menu opens. It always ends up somewhere near the "back"
button (at least when you swipe from current position to the right
that is where you end up).
When opening the same menu using a double click event (same focus
management script) the focus goes where it is supposed to.
