Accessibility - Backoffice - Search filters issues

[rickdoesburg]

Which Umbraco version are you using?

17.2

Bug summary

While doing a simple WCAG Audit of the backoffice I noticed some bugs.

1. The contrast of the filters buttons are insufficient (1.4.3)

2. The filters buttons do not communicate their state to screen readers. They do receive an active class for styling purposes but should have an aria-pressed state for example.
3. The buttons are not linked to the content they're displaying either using aria-controls or making the buttons container a tablist, with tabpanels and tabs.
4. Switching between the buttons doesn't announce the new content being displayed.

Specifics

Backoffice search

Steps to reproduce

Press the loop icon in the top bar in the backoffice

Expected result / actual result

An accessible way of searching in Umbraco using buttons with sufficient contrast, announced content changes and clear information about the active search filter.

Hi there @rickdoesburg!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot 🤖 🙂
