1084287 - Keyboard navigation accessibility does not work with Loop's menus

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Hello (Loop) :: Client, defect, P5)

Description

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

1. Click the Loop talk icon.
2. Click the person icon in the top nav (make sure you are first signed in).
3. Hover over a contact (press the "Add a Contact" first if you have none).
4. Carefully click the white down-arrow icon in the green button that appears.
5. Once the white menu appears, try pressing the arrow keys or pressing any letter.
6. Notice nothing happens.

(Note: this is also reproducible with the settings menu exposed by clicking on the gear icon when the user is signed in.)

Expected result:
Arrow keys should navigate between menu items. And accesskeys should also work. I should be jumped to a menu item by typing its first few letters.

Actual result:
Nothing on the keyboard seems to allow me to toggle between the menu items.

going to put meta in for accessibility and get a full review.  agree seeing a few bugs on this area.  focus on 38 to bring up to bar.

working on UX stability - changing very rapidly - but keeping on backlog to fix once stable.

Thoughts on how to open the Hello panel can be found in Bug 1106932.

Once it is opened, I believe focus should move to the panel. Then the user can keyboard down, first through the Conversations/Contacts tab headers, then through the conversations. Hitting enter opens one and moves focus to the conversation window. If they keep keyboarding down they can hit the "Start a Conversation" button which opens a new room and moves focus there. All this plus a tab order through the elements should make the panel keyboard accessible.
