Summary	17748: Visually impaired - adding or editing a question - impossible to change the question type using the keyboard -JAWS screen reader
Description	When accessing the application by a visually impaired user, in the page for adding or editing a question, it is impossible to change the question type using the keyboard only (with JAWS screen reader) More details: After clicking on "Add Question" link, in the page that opens, it appears a button after the label "Switch question type". That button is a special button that appears as collapsed. If it is pressed with Space, or Enter, or left mouse click (using the keyboard), it appears a dialog with a few tabs. The labels of those tabs are: "Single choice questions", "Arrays", "Multiple choice questions", "Text questions". By default in this case the label of the special button is " Long free text", so it is of type "text". If we want to change the type of question to "Single choice questions" or to "Multiple choice questions", we pressed Space or Enter on those tabs. After doing this, the screen reader enters forms mode on, but still the question type is not changed. If returning back to JAWS virtual cursor and continuing reading the page, we can see that the heading of level 3 (<h3) below is still "Long free text", so the question type is not changed. We tried pressing those tabs using Enter, Space, mouse left-click using the keyboard, but still the question type is not changed.
Steps To Reproduce	Click on "Add Question" link. After the label "Switch question type" appears the special button with the label " Long free text". I pressed Space on the special button " Long free text". It was displayed a dialog with a few tabs on it. The heading that shows the currently selected question type displays "Long free text". From those tabs, I pressed Space on the tab with the label "Single choice questions". Please note that other times I also tried to press Enter and mouse left-click using the keyboard, but with the same effect. The result is that the heading that shows the question type is still "Long free text".

DenisChenu 2021-11-22 15:16 developer ~67475	Question : it was possible with 3.X version (i can give access)

QLacquisitionsManager 2021-11-23 13:27 reporter ~67502	Hello, Do you mean with the 3.x version of LimeSurvey? If you need us to test this we can do it if you can provide access to such an instance.

DenisChenu 2021-11-23 14:27 developer ~67506	If you accept : yes, it can be interesting to have a quick compare : https://demo.sondages.pro/index.php/admin But if you don't have time : such issue must be fixed :)

DenisChenu 2021-11-23 14:33 developer ~67508	Direct edit question access : https://demo.sondages.pro/admin/questions/sa/editquestion/surveyid/996693/gid/980/qid/9693 Seems can move from link to link with tab/shift+tab and enter to select (+ tab to go too Select button)

QLacquisitionsManager 2021-11-23 14:41 reporter ~67510	Thank you, We`ll test the system at https://demo.sondages.pro/admin/questions/sa/editquestion/surveyid/996693/gid/980/qid/9693 with the JAWS screen reader that is used by our visually impaired user and see if the usability is better here.

DenisChenu 2021-11-23 14:44 developer ~67511	I check keyboard navigation on both quickly : seem near same. I checj too with "Simple selector mode" on User settings : updated each time you move with arrow keys.

QLacquisitionsManager 2021-11-25 13:32 reporter ~67572	Our visually impaired user tested the LimeSurvey version (3.x) you provided the demo link for and the feedback is that it was more accessible than our version of it (5.x). She still had trouble with the text box for question input not being defined that there's where you write up the question, as it was for the Help box for example. The options appeared to be simplified and easier to go through.

c_schmitz 2021-11-29 14:42 administrator ~67600	Accessibility of the administration interface is currently not a planned feature. However, we would accept third-party contributions if someone wants to take on this task.

DenisChenu 2021-11-29 19:01 developer ~67604	Sorry for this … Our visually impaired user tested the LimeSurvey version (3.x) you provided the demo link for and the feedback is that it was more accessible than our version of it (5.x). She still had trouble with the text box for question input not being defined that there's where you write up the question, as it was for the Help box for example. Hi, Can you try with https://manual.limesurvey.org/First_login_-_your_user_preferences#Question_type_selector Simple editor mode * ? I check to find how to fix the popup, but seems to be hard …. About html editor and label : https://manual.limesurvey.org/First_login_-_your_user_preferences#HTML_editor_mode : i check to disable update on keyboard navigation, only update on click and blur (but i know it's hard to have spomething working clean here ).
