Steps to reproduce:
- Open vision setting panel or NVDA user guide.
- look at Focus Highlight section
Actual behavior:
The feature is called Focus Highlight. But it may highlight not only system focus but also the navigator objetct and the browse mode cursor.
Expected behavior:
A clearer name should be found for this feature. What about "Visual Highlight"?
We would lose the idea that these highlighters follow a localized object moving around the screen such as the focus or a cursor. But this would at least allow not to use the term 'focus' for the navigator object or a cursor (browse mode one).
Notes and context
English is not my mother language so maybe there is no problem in English. In the French translated UI, it sounds strange to me that the object navigator and the browse mode cursor options belong to the Focus Highlight group.
Note that this issue is just a matter of terminology. I do not intend to change the organization of the Vision panel options. And it makes sens to me to have a group of visual highlighters containing focus, nav object and browse mode cursor.
