The following is a list, which is not intended to be exhaustive. In brackets we denoted if this issue pertains to screen reader (SR) use, keyboard only use or voice activation.

  1. Drop down menus not accessible to screen readers (SR)
    • with activated Screen Reader, menus are generally optimized, so they might be in a different place. They definitely work.
    • in normal view/high-contrast mode menus have been optimized for use with keyboard
      • high-contrast mode does not work in Google Chrome
  2. Search drop down box (SR)
    • works in screen reader mode
  3. Individual notifications not accessible (keyboard, SR, voice activation)
    • does not work in Screen Reader mode
    • has been optimized for keyboard in normal view/high-contrast mode
  4. Links without appropriate names (SR)
    • optimized in all modes
  5. “Write a comment” field not keyboard accessible (keyboard)
    • works
  6. Colour picker colours are unlabelled (SR)
    • with activated Screen Reader mode wiki markup can be used to make text colorful in text areas
  7. Pop-up modal inaccessible (SR)
    • in Screen Reader mode optimized for users (not global or space admins)
    • attachments can be added via keyboard also in normal mode - via the page menu
  8. Focus removed from edit field after making menu selections (all)
    • works with app
  9. Focus order after comment box moves user to top of page (SR, keyboard)
    • order is logical
