Description
Issue type
Accessibility issue (e.g. for keyboard-only or screen reader users)
Description with steps to reproduce
In the Palette search area the clear button can only be activated with space not enter. Buttons should be able to be activated with enter.
STEPS:
- Go to Palettes and press enter on the search button.
- Type some text in the edit field.
- Press down arrow to navigate to the Clear button.
- Press Enter.
- Notice that either nothing happens, or on 1 occasion focus returned to the score.
- Navigate again to the clear button and press space. This works and the text box is now empty.
