JAWS and Web Objects Shifting left

    Hello,

    I will try to get an example in to articulate, with my workload I am unsure when.

    I did however make some new discoveries; 

    • the shift happens on any slide (not just the above stated web object). Articulate needs to revisit their January "fix."
    • the shift happens when the player is in the responsive state. (when the content sizes with the browser).
    • the only solution I found was to manually set "Zoom to Fit" to true and create a mechanism for the course to remember that setting upon relaunch (resume). Effectively locking the player to specific size.

    This is not an ideal solution (the player should work as intended) as the responsive state makes for the best user experience.

    Alternatively I suppose the variable controlling "Zoom to Fit" could set to true in the IDE but would still need the mechanism if the setting is to persist.

    As an aside I also found that if you force the player to redraw the slide (via loading a layer perse or other force reload the CSS) the redraw temporarily shifts the content back. This is for knowledge not a solution.

     

    Hope this helps others while Articulate addresses the JAWS issue.
