The test case #4 for the modal dialog (Testing Task: Close a modal dialog in interaction mode) is flawed. A user can get different results depending on how many times they hit the escape key. Also, for this test when activating the "Run Test Setup" button, the dialog automatically opens. This is different behavior from tasks #1 and #2, but the same as #3. The inconsistency between tasks is very confusing.

@jha11y The Community Group has previously reached consensus that in interaction mode, a screen reader should pass the Escape key through to the page. I know that this can be seen as subjective, but the test was written with this decision in mind. As such, please rerun the test, pressing Escape only once as instructed. If the results do not pass the assertions (which we know they wont), mark the assertions as failing.

Note: there is a chance that if/when these tests are reviewed by NVAccess during a future phase, they will disagree with the test as it is currently written. If so, this decision may need to be revisited.

@IsaDC I fine with that. I can update my results
