JAWS exits forms mode when focus moved to checkbox in a toolbar #708

Closed kt398 closed 11 months ago

kt398 commented 1 year ago

Summary

JAWS exits forms mode when focus moved to checkbox in a toolbar

Example:

  1. Go to https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/toolbar/examples/toolbar/ with JAWS on
  2. Using virtual cursor, navigate to the "Open in CodePen" button, and then tab into the toolbar.
  3. Use left/right arrow keys to navigate to the "Night Mode" checkbox.
  4. Observe that JAWS leaves forms mode, and arrow keys can't be used to navigate between elements in the toolbar

Expected result

JAWS stays in forms mode.

Actual result

JAWS switches to virtual-cursor mode, and left/right arrow keys can't be used to move between elements in the toolbar.

JAWS-test commented 1 year ago

I can confirm the problem.

The problem also occurs with older JAWS versions.

The problem does not occur with NVDA.

The problem is not limited to checkboxes, but also occurs with links (in the example the "Help" link)

Definitely a bug in JAWS.
