Tabbing to a button with disabled state activates the button
I'm using the modern player...
I have a main menu slide that requires the learner to take 5 lessons in order. Buttons are in the "disabled"state until the lesson before it is completed. When lesson 1 is completed, Lesson 2 changes to "normal", and so on. However, if you tab to lesson 2, 3, 4 or 5 while they are still disabled, the button is activated, and you jump to the locked lesson.
I recall this was also an issue with the classic player at some point that was eventually fixed?
Anyway, I think I can come up with a workaround, but i'm curious if this a bug or a feature?
If it's a bug, can you put in a ticket/request to fix it?

Hi Leah,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are experiencing in the course.
We are looking into an issue specific to disabled states when one or more states of an object has more than one object. Does that fit what you are seeing as well?
I think so. My buttons are basically a grouped rectangle shape, with a locked icon. Are you saying, if I get rid of the lock icon, that might work? Attached image...
I removed the locked icons and viola! It did not allow tabbing to, or activating the locked button. I'll use some other indicator for disabled/completed states.
Thanks!
