Description

As noted by @dcalhoun here, the media pager added to the feedback form has an accessibility issue. When Talkback is enabled, scrolling to a page where the remove button is offscreen will cause the close (X) button to be focused.

Steps:

  • Navigate to the feedback form.
  • Attach five items.
  • Enable TalkBack.
  • Swipe from left to right on the screen to move selection to a "remove" button that is hidden off screen.
  • Wait momentarily for the TalkBack selection to reset and move to the dialog close button.
