Tab Order: Storyline skipping first object on non-base layers?

Hi Ray. Your details really helped me understand what you're experiencing. This behavior matches a bug we have where on a layer, the yellow highlight is not around the first object in tab order. When pressing the tab key, the highlight appears around the second item. If you have a screen reader open, it will read the first item in tab order when the layer is opened.

We are investigating why this tabbing behavior changed. I'll add your discussion to our report so we can update you with changes. In the meantime, let me know if this workaround fits for your course: Add another invisible object to the layer and make it the first item in tab order.
