1361950 - [DateTimePicker] Give month/year selectors visual focus when it is opened in the date picker

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Scott Wu [:scottwu]]

When the month-year picker within date picker is opened, it should be given a visual focus (not actual focus) to indicate that keyboard now controls the spinners. So when month-year picker is opened, the up arrow key should reduce the month/year by one, instead of increase by one as it would if input box controls it.

This design change is in part a response to the discussion raised in Bug 1348052.

Moving to p3 because no activity for at least 1 year(s).

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months, so the assignee is being reset.

With the accessibility improvements implemented in the bug 1676068 for the datepicker component, the focus now is visually and programmaticaly placed on the month-year button as this is a toggle button to show or hide the month/year picker dialog and it is expected that the focus remains on the toggle (disclosure) button per the WAI ARIA design pattern after it is activated. Thus, the bug seems to be resolved
