KEYBOARD TABBING (TAB) BYPASSES TIMELINE PAUSE TIMELINE -- ACCESSIBILITY ISSUE
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.
How can we fix this?
Hello Barbara,
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
We are currently on Build 3.61.27106.0 of Storyline 360. If you're interested, please read all the details of our version history.
- Would you be able to record a quick Peek 360 video to demonstrate?
- Would you be able to share your .story project file here? If not, please share your project file privately with our support engineers to investigate what's happening with your permission. It will be deleted when troubleshooting is complete.
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.
