Hi, I wasn't able to fix this bug entirely, so the user manual should probably be updated to specify how screen reader users can use the tabs. The tabs don't work if you focus them using the arrow keys, so you need to focus them using the Tab key in order to switch tabs.

In theory the included bootstrap-accessibility library should take care of adding ARIA features to them, but unfortunately it seems to be overcomplicating matters to the point of confusion. There are various issues with the JAWS screen reader, which may or may not be related to this library ... need to investigate why these issues are happening. 1. Tabs can't be changed without going into "forms" mode (pressing Enter with a tab selected does nothing) 2. All tabs are described as "tab selected" 3. When selecting a tab with the keyboard (without a screen reader), tabindex attributes are added to the tab and its content, messing up the tab order of the page Affects latest master To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1482458/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : mahara-contributors@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
