Content outside a dialog with role="alertdialog" is not hidden from JAWS #692

Open aaronbnb opened 1 year ago

aaronbnb commented 1 year ago

Summary

When focus is set to within a dialog with role="alertdialog", one is still able to navigate outside the dialog. The rest of page content is not hidden from JAWS.

Expected result

Rest of page content is hidden from assistive technology IF focus is set within the dialog. Do not hide other page content unless focus is programmatically set to within the dialog. Some site developers don't hide dialogs properly so do not want to hide other page content unless it is certain that the site developer has intended that the user must interact with the alert dialog's content before interacting with main page content.

Actual result

All content outside the element with role="alertdialog" is exposed to JAWS.

Example

Go to Shop Ford website On page load, focus is set to within the cookie consent dialog.

I can confirm the problem. However, it occurs only when navigating with the virtual cursor immediately after opening the page. If TAB is used to navigate within the alertdialog beforehand and then the virtual cursor is used, JAWS respects the boundaries of the alertdialog and does not output the rest of the page. So very strange behavior
