Accessibility: DatePicker ValueHelp button invisible in screen reader

Open shartf opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

What is the issue and how can we reproduce it?

  1. Activate screen reader on macOS
  2. Focus DatePicker input field
  3. Try to focus valueHelp button with Ctrl-Alt-Right arrow .

Error:

Focus will jump over the value help button not noticing its existence

Expected behavior:

ValueHelp button can be focused and clicked.

I have read https://github.com/UI5/openui5/issues/3504 but it is not clear to me, how a user relying on screen reader only should discover that there is a valueHelp and that they need to press F4 to trigger it?

Which OpenUI5 version is your project targeting?

1.141.2

Is the issue device- or browser-specific?

No response
