        <pre>It seems odd that the DOM ordering is considered for VO until an element with aria-flowto is hit, but then it is possible to not be hit afterwards depending on the chain.

Take this for example:

&lt;div id=&quot;item1&quot; role=&quot;img&quot;&gt;  Item 1 (role=img)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div id=&quot;item2&quot; role=&quot;button&quot; aria-flowto=&quot;item4&quot;&gt;  Item 2 (role=button, flowto=item4)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div id=&quot;item3&quot; role=&quot;img&quot;&gt;  Item 3 (role=img)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div id=&quot;item4&quot; role=&quot;img&quot;   aria-flowto=&quot;item3&quot;&gt;  Item 4 (role=img, flowto=item3)&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div id=&quot;item5&quot; role=&quot;radio&quot;&gt;  Item 6 (role=radio)&lt;/div&gt;

item1 is selected first despite no aria-flowto indicating it is in a chain of visibility.

Then item4 and item3 are visited, and it simply repeats between item4 and item3; there's no way to get to item5 at this point.

It seems like either aria-flowto should be the only source of navigation (ignoring DOM elements without it), or it should construct a flow that can let DOM elements after the flow be visited.

I am reproducing on iPad Pro with iOS 10.2.1 via:

2. Swiping to the right</pre>
