Summary19978: 5pointchoice question in slider layout display is not accessible
Description

Question type 5pointchoice is navigable by keyboard when is not styled like a slider.
Slider question, either emoji or stars is skipped by navigating by keyboard.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

install LS 6.x
create a survey
add a 5pointchoice question
see: preview is selectable by keyboard (tab to focus the field, arrows to change your choice)

admin: alter display as slider (stars|emoji) as you want
save: question
preview: survey
see: question is no more selectable by keyboard, no choice can be done by arrows keys.

Expected result

as impaired participant I want to focus a 5pointchoice question with slider to express myself
as impaired participant I want to change my choice by pressing arrow keys: up/down or left/right
as impaired participant I want to see which question is focused in the survey page so that is easy to navigate between questions.

Actual result

No question gets highlighted by having an outline.
Question type 5pointchoice having slider stars/emoji can't be answered by keyboard selection
Question is missing WCAG 2.2 AA - Guideline 2.4 Navigable and Criterion 2.4.7 Focusable is not satisfied.
European Public Sector website can't use this kind of question

I don't open another issue on this, because I've already started many on other problems.

Another issue related to this kind of question, is "selected star are only changing color, related unselected stars". For accessibility they must change also their shape.
This is Principle 1.4.1 Use of color https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/#use-of-color

So I suggest to use two different icons ⭐ or �leveraging UTF8 emoji. OR adding a css border to selected stars.
