Accessibility of Scrollbars
When I select the accessible text option and apply text spacing criteria per WCAG requirements, the scrollbars that appear are not keyboard accessible. Is this a known bug or is there a workaround?...
Hello! Just wondering if there is an update for this in the works? The scrollbars that appear with accessible text still seem to be not keyboard accessible.
Hello Vic! I was running into the same issue with scrollbars until I updated my version of Google Chrome. After that, I was able to navigate to and select the scrollbars using they keyboard. Do you mind updating your browser and testing this again?
LaurenDuvall can you and StevenBenassi confirm that this issue was fixed? Thanks.
LaurenDuvallI updated my Chrome just now and it still isn't working. When the scrollbar receives focus by tab or arrow, the screen reader announces blank but I can't seem to select it and I can't move the scroll bars with the keyboard.
It also seems that the screenreader/keyboard ignores the scrollbars completely when they appear on a checkbox or radio button that is part of a quiz interaction. They don't receive focus at all.
This is with NVDA.
Hello MikeB-2fa1936a- and Vic! Since I'm not able to reproduce this issue on my end, it would be helpful if we could see both of your project files. Could you both share those files with our Support Engineers in a support case? Please also share which screen reader version you're using so they can test that with your file, too.
LaurenDuvallI already have a case open with CleoberSinues (#00803959). If you read through this thread, this is a long-standing issue that still has not been addressed. It prevents full compliance with WCAG 2.1.
Thanks, Mike
