Actual Result
When the "This comment will be viewable by all users" link is activated, The page gets dynamically updated. However, the focus remains on the activated link instead of moving onto the newly updated content. This illogical focus order might make the page difficult to understand for the keyboard and screen reader users.
Expected Results
Make sure that the focus is managed appropriately when the page is updated. Make sure that when the user activates the "This comment will be viewable by all users" link, the focus goes onto the newly added listbox. This can be done with the “focus” method.
