Problem with Set Focus trigger
I have a Storyline slide that has 4 tabs on the base layer and 4 layers: each tab when selected displays a unique layer. Each tab selection also has a Set Focus trigger to a text box within that layer. The intent is for those using a screen reader, they select the tab, the text box is read.
Issue: When selecting a tab, a yellow line flashes at the edges of the slide (for both screen reader and non-screen reader users). Occasionally, a rogue highlight appears in various locations (see screen capture).
The flashing and the rogue highlight seem to disappear when the layer's text box is removed from the focus order: but then the screen reader never reads the text box, even though it receives the focus.
Any ideas?

I wouldn't use set focus to achieve that just set the text in the focus order
That's my conclusion. I'm reviewing several courses and it seems that when SET FOCUS is used to automatically read a non-interactive text box it's a little buggy.
The authors' intent was to save those using a screen reader the requirement to arrow down to read the text box (as is the case with the focus order).
