Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In early issues NVDA had significant problems maintaining the virtual cursor at the same position, resulting in several bugs while browsing a document with the virtual cursor.
A setting has been added in NVDA, so the user can decide whether the system focus should follow the virtual cursor or not. When the system focus does not follow the virtual cursor, the navigation is much more stable and the cursor does not move around.
Enabling this setting in NVDA browse mode settings introduces many bugs such as loss of focus, unwanted actions performed while navigating through the web, and so on. Especially the fact that actions are triggered when this setting is enabled, poses a huge risk for users to open link or press buttons which they didn't intend to triggern.
Describe the solution you'd like
Let automatic movement of system focus to focusable elements disabled in browse mode settings and remove the setting completely from the GUI as well as the key stroke NVDA+8 from the global commands.
Describe alternatives you've considered
None
Additional context
