Steps to reproduce:

1. In Microsoft Edge, go to this link for a listbox in W3C.
2. Look for the listbox located below the level 2 header that says example and press enter.
3. Try to move with up and down arrows through the items.

Actual behavior:

NVDA does not focus the listbox, so pressing enter calls the action of the last focused item, not the listbox, in order to read the items inside.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should focus the listbox when passing through it in browse mode, so that when you press enter on it, NVDA automatically switches to focus mode and you can read the items in that listbox using the up and down arrows.
