NOTE for "target" (definition) has wrong indication of excepting 'included area" WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 #2424

Open jake-abma opened 2 years ago

jake-abma commented 2 years ago

I'll add definition in 2.2, but also in 2.1 this is wrongly written... https://w3c.github.io/wcag/guidelines/22/#dfn-targets

The definition goes like:

target region of the display that will accept a pointer action, such as the interactive area of a user interface component

NOTE If two or more touch targets are overlapping, the overlapping area should not be included in the measurement of the target size, except when the overlapping targets perform the same action or open the same page.

Now in the NOTE it says: "the overlapping area should not be included in the measurement of the target size"

I think this is not correct and only counts for the target "hidden / obscured" by the other. The (overlapping) area for the target 'on top' should be fine to include in the size...

@jake-abma Did you add the definition to 2.2?

jake-abma commented 2 years ago

Hi @mbgower what about:

target region of the display that will accept a pointer action, such as the interactive area of a user interface component

NOTE If two or more touch targets are overlapping, the overlapped area of the underlying target should not be included in the measurement of the target size, except when the overlapping targets perform the same action or open the same page.

can we drop the word "touch" please? it's not just about touch

patrickhlauke commented 2 years ago

ah, as this sounded familiar, i see i already made that tweak https://github.com/w3c/wcag/pull/1485 ... so let's be careful not to reintroduce it

jake-abma commented 2 years ago

Good point @patrickhlauke so change to:

target region of the display that will accept a pointer action, such as the interactive area of a user interface component

NOTE If two or more targets are overlapping, the overlapped area of the underlying target should not be included in the measurement of the target size, except when the overlapping targets perform the same action or open the same page.
