Impacted component(s)

Table

Expected behavior

It should be possible to distinguish a selected row from a not selected row even when the selection checkbox is not present.

See React-Spectrum for a positive example: https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/react-spectrum/TableView.html#highlight-selection

Actual behavior

Selected row state with not selects attribute specified lacks sufficient contrast to distinguish selected rows from not selected rows, which is a failure of WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast

Could you elaborate on this issue or provide some steps to reproduce? I took a look at the styles and it looks like a row without a checkbox that is marked with the selected attribute does show as a highlighted blue (and in Spectrum CSS when the is-selected class is applied). It looks like this may be more of a functionality update? Are you looking for rows to be marked as selected by clicking them like in the React example linked? It doesn't look like SWC currently has the selectionStyle="highlight" functionality.

We should check to see if this is still true since Josh's work has finished.
