:sefeng, since you are the author of the regressor, bug 1811129, could you take a look? Also, could you set the severity field?

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: Lost focus. it could trap keyboard-only users.

Comment 3

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The bug is marked as tracked for firefox120 (nightly). We have limited time to fix this, the soft freeze is in 9 days. However, the bug still isn't assigned.

:hsinyi, could you please find an assignee for this tracked bug? Given that it is a regression and we know the cause, we could also simply backout the regressor. If you disagree with the tracking decision, please talk with the release managers.

I am looking at this.

Comment 5

[Anna Yeddi [:ayeddi]]

Confirmed with today's Nightly.

:sefeng, it looks like the focus is placed on the sidebar's frame/grouping instead of the control that triggered the modal to appear. Just in case, this is the expected keyboard behavior for modal dialogs described by W3C WAI. Thank you for looking at this!

The patch landed in nightly and beta is affected.

:sefeng the scheduled 119 dot release goes to build on 2023-11-06 and goes live on 2023-11-07.
This is tracked for 119 since it's a recent regression impacting accessibility.
Are you on track for fixing this and requesting beta and release uplift?
Or, is there risk and we should at least aim to get a fix out in Fx120?

Since there is a pending NI the bot won't add a comment about an uplift request.

Bug 1856109 - Allow <dialog> to move back to previously focused element even if they are in different BC r=emilio

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined: User may experience unexpected <dialog> focusing behaviours. This is an regression and might be a bigger issue for accessibility users
• Is this code covered by automated tests?: Yes
• Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes
• Needs manual test from QE?: Yes
• If yes, steps to reproduce: STR is in the description of the bug
• List of other uplifts needed: None
• Risk to taking this patch: Low
• Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This is not risky because the code is relatively trivial. This is about moving the focus when <dialog> is closed, so technically speaking this is not one of those important core functionalities.
• String changes made/needed:
• Is Android affected?: Yes

Comment 27

[Donal Meehan [:dmeehan]]

Setting 119 to wontfix, discussed offline and it's safer to uplift this for beta and ride the train with Fx120
