Storyline 360 - Tab order resets when a slide layer is shown or hidden.
Hello,
I'm having an issue while trying to make a course accessible. Every time a layer is shown or hidden, the tab order starts from the top once again. In practice, if I have a button that shows...
I'm seeing this issue too. This is a fairly recent issue that is breaking the accessibility for screen readers. We used to be able to use layers and order them in the focus order like this:
- Base: Button 01 (opens layer 01)
- Layer 01 (close layer 01, and use down arrow to get to the next element, Button 02).
- Base: Button 02
- Layer 02
We were able to order the focus order as such, and the screen reader would return to the next element in the order, but now, as the post above says, more often than not, the screen reader is directed to the top of the slide and the user must navigate through the slide contents again to get to the next element in the focus order.
Is this something the engineers are aware of and working on? SL courses aren't going to pass accessibility testing using the method I've outlined above.
Thanks all.
