Hi everyone!
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 81, we've included important fixes and new features.
One of the bugs we've fixed is:
- Screen readers didn't always follow the correct focus order around the player menu or hidden slide objects
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
Hi Erin!
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention! I see the same on my end with buttons that have the initial state set to hidden. If you choose to change the initial state to disabled, you can use the keyboard to navigate to the next button.
This doesn't look like an issue with JAWS but an issue with the keyboard navigation in Storyline 360 when a button is set to hidden as the initial state. I see that we've already logged this as a bug, and I will add your comments to our bug report. I'll keep you updated in this discussion.
Again, I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me!
