The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Technology Services Accessibility Testing team conducted an Accessibility Review of Sympa on September 25, 2023 and found 26 issues that need to be fixed to make the interface accessible for visual impaired users.

Version

6.2.72

Installation method

Source Package

Expected behavior

Text reflow must be within the width of the viewport.

Menu and interfaces need to be designed to avoid the need to scroll in the direction of reading in order to reveal lines that are cut off by the viewport. It is important, because such scrolling significantly increases the effort required to read by a screen reader

Actual behavior

See image below, content is being cut off requiring the visually impaired user to scroll in two dimension making difficult to read by a screen reader.

Steps to reproduce

Sympa Accessibility Issue - 20 - was determined by an Automation Tool Evaluation using AInspector and Siteimprove Accessibility Checkers as automated accessibility evaluation tools.

After running these automation tools the following issue was identified:

Content must be presented without loss of information or functionality, without requiring scrolling in two dimension. Text reflow must be within the width of the viewport. Avoiding the need to scroll in the direction of reading in order to reveal lines that are cut off by the viewport is important, because such scrolling significantly increases the effort required to read.
