In Writer on Windows 10, when the properties dialog of a form control is opened it does not automatically get keyboard focus and it seems the only way to give it keyboard focus is to use the mouse. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a writer document containing a form field, select the form field and press alt + enter 2. The form properties dialog opens Expected behavior: keyboard focus moves to the name field Actual behavior: keyboard focus does not move there and I have not found a way to give the keyboard properties dialog focus without using the mouse. However I can dismiss the dialog by pressing escape. Note: I am using the NVDA screen reader, bug also appears to be reproducible if NVDA is not running.
