Description Frederik Gladhorn 2014-07-09 10:34:19 UTC

When opening Kickoff the keyboard works (yay). But Kickoff does not actually set the focus property, so for the currently highlighted item activeFocus never becomes true.
This is a problem for accessibility which relies on getting the focusInEvents.
This means that when runnig with a screen reader kickoff stays completely silent when using the arrow keys.

Reproducible: Always

Did your latest commit fix this?

Well, for kicker I think things are fixed. I'm still not happy with the state of kickoff from an a11y point of view. I don't think anyone will work on this either and I started getting it to almost work, so I think we may as well close this issue.
