Case №2

Description

Keyboard navigation via Tab key does not work for interactive columns. Interactive columns in filtered table are not accessible via keyboard (it is impossible to navigate to columns' names via "Tab" key). Note: Alternative navigation via shortcut "t" + arrows works as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Data Table component with filtersConfig passed as prop or Demo (Filtered table) (https://uui.epam.com/demo?id=table).
2. Use the Tab key to navigate to [Open columns configuration modal] button and note the announcement.

Actual result

Expected result

Table's header should be accessible as well, because the majority of columns are interactive (there should be an opportunity to turn on sorting, to open filter dropdown without using a mouse).

Example of the correct behavior (navigation to sortable columns' names and visible focus): https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/table/examples/sortable-table/

Case №3

Description

When User navigates via keyboard inside dropdown menus, there is no opportunity to navigate outside it via keyboard (focus traps within dropdown list).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Data Table component with filtersConfig passed as prop or Demo (Filtered table) (https://uui.epam.com/demo?id=table).
2. Open filter dropdown.
3. Try to close it via "Esc" button.

Actual result

https://github.com/epam/UUI/assets/70166849/9d9496af-4ba4-4105-9782-a59ce07cfef5

Expected result

Pressing Esc key on any element of displayed listbox should close the listbox and move focus to the combobox.
