           Summary: Focus and caret position should be updated when
                    same-page links are followed
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://wikipedia.org
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Accessibility
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: joanmarie.diggs at gmail.com

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Epiphany and enable caret browsing by pressing F7

2. Navigate to the wikipedia page of your choice, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombies

3. Move focus to a link under the 'Contents' heading (e.g. 'Zombie apocalypse') and press Return. At this point the window scrolls to display the chosen heading.

4. Press Down Arrow to move to the next line within the chosen section's contents.

Expected results: The caret position would be updated to the next line of content under the chosen heading (e.g. 'Main article: Zombie apocalypse'). In addition, the appropriate accessible signals (focus:, object:state-changed:focused, and object:text-caret-moved) would be emitted.

Actual results: The caret and focus are each moved to the next link in the contents (e.g. 'Philosophical Zombie'). 

Note: I'm guessing that this is not technically the 'Accessibility' component, but I'm not sure which component it is. It is, however, a significant accessibility issue for users who are blind. CCing Mario for triage.

Thanks!
