Thanks Ron for the quick reply - like the original poster of the question I have wondered about the screen reader behavior for these.
Being able to see the layer content along with the base layer content in the focus order, **and** being able to order layer content above base layer content, does create a bit of ambiguity if you don't have access to a screen reader to actually observe the behavior.
While the article is helpful (I've read it multiple times) imo it could benefit from adding some clarity about how reading/focus order for layers actually works in a screen reader.
Agree. I know there have been feature requests and discussions about the default ordering of the Focus Order having the Slide content at the top and the Layers at the bottom, which may ease some of the confusion. Hopefully that will be available soon.
Hey BrianAllen-LNRS
Please take a look at the section on making layers accessible and let me know if this provides any additional clarity. I'll also make a note of the focus order article that Ron shared so that we can also provide information there.Thanks Leslie. I believe this bullet under Making layers accessible is some helpful instruction:
- In the Focus Order window, arrange the objects from each individual layer to appear after the object on the base layer that activates the layer.
It might be a good add to the kb article Ron shared in his initial reply.
