JAWS does not scroll correctly in scrollable elements when using virtual focus

Open jdrush89 opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Summary

Brief description of the issue. Please list any specific steps.

Example:

  1. Start JAWS
  2. Go to https://codesandbox.io/s/intelligent-resonance-ujiymw
  3. tab to the table in the right pane, or use 't' to focus the table
  4. use ctrl + alt + down arrow to navigate JAWS's virtual focus through the rows

Expected result

The tablescrolls as the virtual focus moves out of the current viewport

Actual result

The list does not scroll unless the virtual focus hits bounds of the browser window. This means JAWS users cannot reach elements in virtualized lists/tables which rely on the scroll position in the list to load more items. NVDA and Narrator do not have this problem, they scroll the table when their virtual focus reaches the edge of the table's visible bounds.

Example
