Nextcloud Form test with screen reader :

  • checkboxes: a bug on the Nextcloud side for checking a box, SPACE SELECTED the voice says it's checked, which isn't the case, a second press on space actually checks the box when the voice only says SPACE.

In the checkboxes, everything needs to be reworked: the voices say completely contradictory things.

  • Radio buttons work correctly

  • Drop-down menu, at first it leaves the form, then reads the options without recalling the context or the question. Does not read the title of the form drop-down menu, but does read the choices. Reads list items, but doesn't mention which one is selected.

  • Can't set a date

  • Send form: Dynamic content change, but no notification!

Conclusion: Can't NextcloudForm be used for accessibility? No! Not recommended.

Expected behavior It should be possible to fill a Nextcloud Form using a screen reader independently.

Nextcloud (please complete the following information):

  • Nextcloud-Version: 31.0.7
  • Forms-Version: 5.1.2

@susnux could this be caused by a bug in the vue lib? I did some debugging and when I used the keyboard to select a checkbox, our onChange method always receives the previous value of the selected checkbox upon the first keypress. Only the second keypress of the space bar has the correct values. with the mouse everythings works as expected and the updated values are used in the first call of onChange

This sounds like its caused by forms itself

Drop-down menu

This seems like a problem with NcSelect in general

Can set a date

I do not understand this issue?

Send form: Dynamic content change, but no notification!

Which content changes here? I guess something needs a aria live region.
