Description

When tabbing to the prerequisite links there is a tooltip. The following accessibility issues were observed:

  • Pointer hover can trigger the additional content, but the pointer can’t be moved over the additional content without the additional content disappearing.
  • Keyboard users are forced to navigate back to the trigger element or out of the additional content in order to dismiss it.

Research direction

Start by locating the prerequisite links and their tooltip implementation, then reproduce the pointer-hover and keyboard-focus behavior described in the issue. Done means pointer users can move into the additional content without it disappearing, and keyboard users can dismiss that content without navigating back to the trigger.
