Keyboard and touch access

← What's newreliability

Tabbing inside an open dialog now stays inside it, so the keyboard cannot wander onto the map behind. Closing the dialog puts the keyboard back where it was.

A control that is switched off now says why. The reason was previously a tooltip, which a touch screen has no way to show, so on a phone or a tablet there was nothing to read. It is now text both a pointer and a screen reader reach.

Clear buttons inside a field are shown on wide touch screens as well, where before they waited for a hover that never came.

How to try it

  1. Open any dialog and press Tab several times.
  2. Find a control that is switched off and read what it says.
  3. Try the same on a touch screen.
