VoiceOver behaves as if there is no active window when opening the Mac App Store

VoiceOver Announcements
Severity
Minor

Description

When opening the Mac App Store, VoiceOver will occasionally behave as if there is no active window (sometimes it will also announce that this is the case), meaning that you cannot use the VO+arrow keys at this point to locate and navigate the toolbar and HTML area.

Bug First Encountered

OS X 10.11

How often the bug occurs

Sometimes

Workaround

The quickest and easiest way to correct this behaviour is to use the App Switcher to move away and back to the Mac App Store, as this seems to get VoiceOver focus back to working as it should.
