Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Open a score and press tab to move focus to the Braille window.
- Press Ctrl F and type a bar number followed by enter.
- Notice the focus moves to the bar specified, but on the score not Braille window, and Braille shows what the screen reader has just said rather than displaying the bar (this is usual when focus is on the score). If initiated from the Braille Window then focus should move to that bar on the Braille and Braille refresh to show it. The score should scroll as needed to keep it in view and highlight the same item where Braille is focused.
Focus should also be on the same staff as the command was initiated from (see #29410
