We discovered an unexpected accessibility issue for keyboard tabbing when the timeline is paused. Learners can bypass the pause by tabbing to a button or text box without selecting either the built-in play button or a trigger play button. This means visually, layers and hidden elements (hotspots or buttons) won't appear at all, because the timeline is not resumed.
I appreciate you chiming in and sharing what you are currently experiencing. I'm not following what you are experiencing. You mention pausing the timeline and then tabbing to a button or text box but not seeing hotspots or buttons?
Do you know what version of Storyline you're using?
You can check by going to Help > About Articulate Storyline
Thanks, Leslie. Support confirmed that the issue is with the hotspot, which cannot be hidden. I currently set buttons to 'appear' at 0.2 seconds, so they cannot be selected, even if hidden by state or by object.
