I have a web application written using ZK framework. I am currently testing this application for Americans With Disabilities Act compliance. I am using JAWS version 17 for screen reader testing in Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer.
When a user who is using Internet Explorer 11 navigates to the final(4th) page of the application, JAWS reads one line (red circle) first, and then jumps back to the top of the page and reads the entire page from top to bottom.
The rest of the application reads from top to bottom, left to right, which is the desired effect.
If I remove the circled line, JAWS reads the 3rd line first, and then moves back to the top of the page. I tried putting some extra line breaks in the source around the 2nd label, but it has no effect.
Do you know what is wrong with this page and is causing this to happen? Or is there some way I can force JAWS to read the page from top to bottom?
Here is the offending .zul file:

TLDR: Using Jaws 17 and IE 11, label 2 in the "What's next?" region is read before any other content on the page. How can I get the page to read from top to bottom?
