Cursor focus is lost when switching tabs

Reported by jkaki2...@gmail.com, Mar 8 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 7956.1.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2657.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Enable ChromeVox. 
2. Open More than one tab
3. Navigate to a particular tab and work on it for a min or so.
4. Switch to a different tab and have it enabled for a min or so.
5. Navigate back to the previous tab and try navigating through the tab or using the page loaded in that tab

What is the expected behavior?
Should be able to use site loaded on every tab when navigated to. The cursor focus should remain where last left.

What went wrong?
The cursor focus is lost and pressing any key does not perform any action. The user has to either refresh the tab or close the tab and open it again.

Did this work before? Yes Not sure

I can still reproduce this problem on my Acer C7 Chromebook. And I believe Chromevox might have a problem or something.
This is the version what I'm currently using:
Version 49.0.2623.111 (64-bit)
Platform 7834.66.0 (Official Build) stable-channel parrot
Firmware Google_Parrot.2685.37.0
I believe Chromevox's sourcecode itself might be the problem, but I'm not sure what is going on.
What I just did is the following:
I powered on my Chromebook; enabled Chromevox. Go to my website, and open the another tab. Not just Chromevox's focus is lost. When navigating while Sticky mode is turned off sometimes it gets stuck at the address bar, or toolbar. I have to press the tab key fast to go back to the main web content inside the browser.
What I just did is the following to escape this:
I refreshed the browser. And I have to refresh each tab when changing over.
If you're at the editing form, such as a post-editing program for most website software. Such as Wordpress. If you switch out from the editing tab, and you went back; you have to refresh your entire browser,--resulting loss of data at the text fields.
I've also reproduced these problems at other sites.
What I discovered; Chromevox reads elements while focus is lost,--resulting links, buttons, and controls being read without landing on one of them first, and returning focus.
