Lectora Desktop v17.1.4 and tab order

I've just started testing version 17.1.4, starting with tab order. While most of the version 17 tab issues have been corrected in this version (thankfully), I am still noticing that the default audio player controls are out of order. I am using IE Developer Tools and Chrome Inspect to analyze the HTML.

undefined

Three audio controls (button Play, button Mute, and the anchor tag for the volume slider) have a tabindex set to a positive number, which forces them to receive focus first before any other object on the page, even though I have the audio control listed last on the page in my title. These should have tabindex=0 so that they are accessed in HTML order.

undefined

Two audio objects (div mep_0 "Audio Player" and span "Time Slider") have tabindex=0. The time slider is fine, but div should not have a tabindex set (or maybe have tabindex=-1) since it is not an object that can be triggered by Enter or Shift.

undefined

I'm interested to hear what others are experiencing with regards to tab order and the audio controller before I report it as a bug.

Ok. I will say I've heard rumblings. But my course development time is almost down to none now a days. Especially accessible content. So if you're able to pinpoint the activity I'd be happy to pass along the information to the development team.

Did you ever report this?

@prg1792 Author July 19, 2018 12:00 AM

Not yet. Had a deadline to meet this week so haven't followed up. It is on my list for today, though!

@prg1792 Author July 19, 2018 12:00 AM

Thanks for the offer, Jen.

I submitted a ticket (Case # 168548) with screen captures this morning and got a response from Daryl, who said that the next release will include "an additional 30+ 50/WGAC improvements, including several issues associated with tabbing and the media player control."

Do you know when the next release is scheduled (since 17.1.4 just came out)?

@prg1792 Author July 31, 2018 12:00 AM

Yes, I saw that 17.1.5 was released, and I took the update. When I do a binary compare of published files with the same files published with v17.1.4, they are identical except for the "GENERATED BY" line at the top of the HTML. So the updates in .5 do not apply to the media player issue. I will await the next service pack.

17.1.5 came out on July 13, 2018. Another service pack will be coming out shortly. Then vesrion 18 before the end of the year.
