Details

(Keywords: access)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

I visited in here to add to a bug I'd reported.

Actual results:

Some kind of alert flashed and then disappeared.

Expected results:

I can't read the alert. The flashing is a sensory accessibility problem, and if it remains and expands the top bar, that is also a sensory accessibility problem.

Can't find a disability access component. Listing under user interface.

One thing I did notice. If a user has clicked the banner to dismiss it, when the next page loads the banner appears briefly, so the check to display the banner is causing elements to flash, which is an a11y issue.

I'm wondering if the banner should be an overlay, so that the user will click to dismiss it the first time they see it, and sequenced so that we check for prior dismissal/having seen the banner before trying to draw it.

Also if this is on an older/slower/constrained system, I'm wondering if the flash of content is more noticeable.

I think the banner should be hidden by default, and show it once page is loaded if the message is new or not yet discarded by the user. And the banner needs a close button for sure... This is actually Bug 1531117.

Depends on: 1531117

Loading a banner after the page can also trigger flashing and/or animation.
