Perhaps one issue - the down arrow graphics don't seem to shift color and I'm not sure it'd be high contrast enough. And one note - there is no background to the menubar with HCM enabled and focus outline only appears once a menu item is focused w/ the keyboard. I'm thinking that the fact there's no background is as designed though.

Approved pending similar changes to #1356.
Thanks @jongund!

@charmarkk

Can you re-review the navigation menubar example for high contrast, I added a 1 pixel border to the menubar for this example too.

charmarkk

LGTM @jongund, thank you!

@carmacleod @zcorpan @mcking65
Could you kindly allot time to review the menubar example before APG meeting tomorrow so that we can publish the example? Thanks for your consideration.

@carmacleod
Can you retest, I updated to use inline SVG and fixed the labeling issue and updated the accessibility documentation.

+      <li>To support operating system high contrast settings:
+        <ul>
+          <li>Focus is highlighted by adding and removing a border around the menu item with focus.</li>
+          <li>The arrow icons used to indicate the current state of pull expandable menus use inline SVG images.</li>


Probably should also mention currentColor? It's an important part of the support.
(also, probably just say "expandable" and not "pull expandable")

Suggested change

<li>The arrow icons used to indicate the current state of pull expandable menus use inline SVG images.</li>

<li>The arrow icons used to indicate the current state of expandable menus use inline SVG images with CSS currentColor.</li>

carmacleod · 2020-07-16T17:01:23Z

Looks great, @jongund !

The triangle icons use the bright yellow link color - very easy to see. I guess currentColor is link color because the menuitems are links.

Now just need to fix Editor Menubar Example the same way, but that can be done in a separate PR.

@carmacleod
Thank you the quick review, if all looks good now could you give an approving review.

carmacleod · 2020-07-16T19:15:16Z

@jongund Thanks for updating the Accessibility Features documentation. Please see my suggestion re talking about currentColor.
I want to finish testing with screen readers before I can give an approving review. I will get to that later today.

jongund · 2020-07-17T14:13:36Z

@carmacleod
I added information to the use of thee SVG image to include the use of the currentColor value to the fill and stroke properties.

@jongund Sorry to take so long to finish this up. Thanks for your patience.
I wanted to finish the screen reader testing in case anything in the example needed changing.
I didn't find anything that would hold up merging this. Details below.

I did find a small CSS issue in the Navigation menubar example that doesn't need to hold up merging. Let me know if you'd like me to open a new issue. Steps:

Focus the link right before the menubar (i.e. the Example Disclosure for Navigation Menus link. This will ensure that you can see the menubar, but it does not have focus)
Hover the mouse over the About menuitem or the Admissions menuitem, and then move the mouse out again. Repeat. Notice that there's a 1 or 2 pixel left-right "jiggle" as the hover style is drawn and removed.
Now type tab so that focus moves into the menubar. Shift+tab back to the link. Repeat. Notice the same jiggle as the focus style is drawn and removed.
The jiggle doesn't happen in the Editor menubar except in Firefox on mouse hover only (not focus).

Screen reader testing results

Tested both menubar examples in the following pairings:

NVDA in Chrome, Firefox and Edge
- works very well in all 3 browsers
- impressed how well NVDA works in Edge (anybody know if it is using UIA?)
JAWS in Chrome and Firefox
- works ok, but doesn't say if a menuitem has a submenu, doesn't read group names
JAWS in Edge
- does not work well: doesn't say if a menuitem has a submenu, forms mode issues in Editor menubar
Narrator in Edge - works great
VoiceOver in Safari and Chrome
- prepends the number 1 to checked menuitems in Editor menubar (I will open a radar for this)
- doesn't always read the first menu item after opening
- doesn't always say item count (and if it does, count may be wrong, and/or may include separators)
- doesn't always say group name when entering group
- doesn't always say if a menuitem has a submenu (Safari only)

Other notes:

NVDA and Narrator distinguish between checkbox and radio menuitems, but JAWS and VO don't
Firefox uses separator as a grouping divider (which affects counts), Edge and Chrome only group if there's a group

Both of these examples are working really well! Thanks so much, @jongund !

carmacleod · 2020-07-18T03:00:28Z

@jongund Just realized that the 2 links in aria-practices.html Menubar pattern (lines 1938 and 1939 in the code) need to be updated.

carmacleod · 2020-07-18T13:33:55Z

@jongund
Thanks for fixing the horizontal jitter in the menubar!
If I split the border css into top, bottom, left, right, and give top and bottom the old 4px value, and left and right the new 3px value, then the vertical jitter is gone from the pull down menus as well.

Here's some code that works (this can probably be written more concisely... I'm not very good at css).

... starting line 113 in menubar-navigation.css

  border-top: 4px solid #034575;
  border-bottom: 4px solid #034575;
  border-left: 3px solid #034575;
  border-right: 3px solid #034575;

jongund · 2020-07-18T22:20:52Z

@carmacleod
I think I fixed the gutter issue.
Could you test it when you have a chance.
Thanks again for all your help on this example!

mcking65 · 2020-07-19T00:36:11Z

@jongund thank you for all your work on these menubar examples ... awesome improvements!!

@carmacleod
I think I fixed the gutter issue.

Yes!! It's fixed beautifully! I tested the merged Navigation Menubar Example in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
No jiggles or jitters anywhere that I could see. :)

Thanks again so much @jongund for all of your work on this!
