1 year ago HI @ferserc1 , related to this, users who only use the keyboard, but not mouse, are unable to remove focus from the video using ESC key.
To duplicate:
- go to https://paellaplayer.upv.es/player.html?id=belmar-multiresolution-remote
- click the space-bar to start the video
- If you continue to use space-bar to pause and play the video, you are Ok. The control bar will disappear
- If you tab into the control panel and click enter on the play/pause button in the control bar, you are stuck with no way take focus off the controls using the "ESC" key.
- EXPECTED: the "ESC" key can also be used to remove focus from the control button. If the "ESC" key was allowed to remove focus from the control buttons, they keyboard and play/pause could be used to start and stop the video, and the control panel would be able to disappear so that the user could see the video hidden by the control panel
Even when the mouse is off the player, if the mouse, or tab-enter, was used to click the playPauseButton, the control bar will not disappear when the video starts playing.
I believe this is because the playPauseButton is considered to still retain focus after it has been clicked. Even if the mouse is moved away from the control bar. When any item on the control bar is considered to retain focus, the control bar will not disappear.
This affects the user experience since the visible control bar covers part of the video in most layouts.
