#5111 closed Bug (fixed)

JAWS not reading tool bar controls properperly while navigating with arrow keys

Reported by: Pranav Prakash Owned by: Garry Yao
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 3.3
Component: Accessibility Version: 3.1
Keywords: Confirmed Oracle IBM Review+ Cc: Senthil, Pranav

Description

Press Alt+F10 to focus toolbar. Use Tab and Shift+Tab to navigate through tool bar. You will observe that JAWS is reading all controls properly. Now use arrow key to navigate through toolbar. You will observe that you are not able to navigate and JAWS is not reading the highlighted control properly i.e. if highlighted control is Preview then it is reading it like "P" "R" "E" "V" "I" "E" "W" and not as "Preview".

This issue was reproducible in nightly build too with Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6.

It's related to the VisualPC Mode of JAWS, ideally user should always in PC mode on editor toolbar.

We're trying to introduce automatic PC Mode turning on in aria branch.

We've implemented the correct role (application) on editor chrome to indicate non-VPC mode for screen readers, while JAWS only respect this role on <BODY> element, but obviously that we couldn't do so otherwise the entire page will be polluted.

We would defer it to see if Freedom Scientific could give us some feedback.

The patch partially fixes the problem in FF but not in IE.

Considering that the arrows are not the standard way to navigate through items (the TAB is the normal choice), and that this looks like a limitation/bug on either the browser or the AT, let's at least reduce the impact of it to fewer users.
