WCAG 2.2 Error with class .hmrc-sign-out-nav__link #337

Closed thirlz95 closed 3 months ago

thirlz95 commented 8 months ago

I'm using the header component within my project and I've come across the following serious warning from accessibility testing with the new WCAG 2.2 guidelines.

I believe this could be fixed by increasing the font-size from 1rem to 1.2rem. I'd happily create a PR for this if you wish.

Yeah it can be fixed but you can do one more thing increase the padding around the target element to effectively increase its clickable area.

Thanks for reporting this, and apologies for the delay in getting to it 🙌

Are you able to confirm that this is still an issue with the latest version? If so, could you possibly include a screenshot of the problem page and/or a link to your repo, or just the relevant HTML fragment?

It looks like maybe your Service Name is a clickable link and is coming up against the sign-out link, but I've been unable to reproduce this locally.

Can you also confirm which accessibility tool(s) are showing the violation?

I can confirm that the latest update has resolved the issue, closing now
