| Visible focus indication is lost when Zoom buttons are disabled. | 2.4.7 Focus Visible | Identified | Keyboard | <button class="tl-menubar-button" type="button" aria-label="Zoom out" aria-description="Show more than 1730 to 1970" disabled="true"><span class="tl-icon-zoom-out"></span></button> | Consider using aria-disabled="true" instead of disabled and a different visual treatment of disabled buttons. Or don't disable at all; "goback" and "goend" buttons aren't. Maybe change aria-description to indicate zoom limit has been reached. |

Research direction
Locate the Zoom controls using the .tl-menubar-button class and inspect how disabled Zoom buttons are rendered and focused. Verify the keyboard focus indication at the zoom limits; done means focus remains visibly indicated and the control communicates its unavailable state according to WCAG 2.4.7.
