Accessibility Issue
|
Workaround
|
|---|---|
|
The SAS High Contrast
theme has a few unresolved focus and contrast issues.
|
For contrast issues,
select a different theme, and then press Ctrl+~ to invert the colors.
|
|
The SAS Light theme
and SAS Dark theme might not provide sufficient color contrast for
some users.
|
Use the SAS Corporate
theme or the SAS High Contrast theme.
|
|
JAWS refers to table
controls as list boxes.
|
When JAWS reports that
a control is a list box, keep in mind that it might actually be a
table.
|
|
JAWS does not correctly
read the states in a tri-state check box tree if JAWS is not in Forms
mode.
|
Disable the JAWS Virtual
PC cursor when you work with the check box tree. Tab to the tree,
and press Insert+Z to disable the Virtual PC cursor. When you finish
interacting with the tree, press Insert+Z to re-enable the Virtual
PC cursor.
|
|
The keyboard shortcuts
that are used to interact with editable tables can conflict with keyboard
shortcuts for the Forms mode in JAWS.
|
As a best practice,
disable the JAWS Virtual PC cursor when you work with tables. Tab
to the table, and press Insert+Z to disable the Virtual PC cursor.
When you finish interacting with the table, press Insert+Z to re-enable
the Virtual PC cursor.
|
|
When a table cell is
selected and you press Home, End, Page Up, or Page Down, the focus
moves to the first displayed column, regardless of which column you
were in.
|
Use the arrow keys to
navigate through the cells of the table.
|
|
You cannot use the keyboard
to activate the links within how-to topics and Help pop-up windows.
|
Use the Help menu
to access the linked documents.
|
|
You cannot use Shift+F10
to open a pop-up menu.
|
Use Shift+F9 to open
pop-up menus that are created for the SAS application. The generic
menu that is provided by the Flash player cannot be opened by Shift+F9.
Note: If you press Shift+F10 in
Internet Explorer and no pop-up menu is available, the browser moves
the focus to the File menu for the browser
tab. To return focus to the application area of the browser window,
press Esc.
|
|
You cannot use the keyboard
to access the close (x) button that is in the top right corner of
a tab.
|
Make sure that the focus
is on the tab, and then press Delete to close the tab.
|
|
Visual focus for the
menu bar is indicated with an outline around the entire menu bar instead
of around individual menus.
|
To select individual
menus, use the left or right arrow key.
|
|
Sometimes, you cannot
use the Tab key to move the focus to the application area of a web
browser (that is, the part of the browser window that is controlled
by the Flash player).
|
The following workaround
is applicable to Internet Explorer only.
Press Ctrl+number,
where number is the ordinal
position of the application’s tab in the set of tabs that are
open in your browser window. Then press Tab to move the focus to the
application area.
|
|
You cannot use the Tab
key to move the focus outside of a code or expression editor. Pressing
Tab within the editor only inserts tabs.
|
For Internet Explorer,
press Shift+F10, and then press Esc to move the focus outside of the
editor.
For Firefox, press Alt+Tab
to switch to another application. When you switch back, the focus
will be outside of the editor.
|
|
If you tab to an item
that is partially or entirely off-screen, the item is not automatically
scrolled back into view.
|
Sometimes, you can use
the arrow keys or the Tab key to scroll the item back into view.
|
|
When you use the Ctrl+plus
sign keyboard shortcut to zoom in, some portions of the interface
can become hidden from view.
|
Use the keyboard to
access the hidden parts of the interface.
|
|
The Ctrl+plus sign and
Ctrl+minus sign keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out do not work
on some menus unless the menus are first opened.
|
Open the menu before
you use the keyboard shortcut.
|
|
You cannot use the keyboard
to navigate in the Layout section because
it is a Read-Only interface that is used for the visual verification
of the elements that have been created.
|
Use the test button
that is in the Layout section to preview
your elements in a secondary window. The items that are displayed
in the secondary window are identical to the items that are displayed
in the Layout section, but unlike the items
in the Read-Only Layout section, you can
interact with the items in the secondary window.
Note: After the application opens
the secondary window, press Tab to move the focus to the window.
|
|
JAWS does not explain
how to operate a drop-down list and drop-down menu.
|
JAWS refers to these
controls as either "button", "button menu", or
"combo box". In addition to using Ctrl+down arrow to open
these drop-down lists and menus, you can also activate buttons and
some button menus by pressing spacebar. Pressing spacebar either opens
the control or selects the default item.
|
|
When JAWS reads the
control names in a breadcrumb, it does not distinguish between the
breadcrumb buttons that contain drop-down menus and those that do
not.
|
Check for a drop-down
menu by pressing Ctrl+down arrow on a breadcrumb button. A drop-down
menu opens if one exists for that button.
|
|
When you use the down
arrow to scroll through the items in a "combo box," any
item that opens a secondary window will do so when you scroll down
to it. This prevents you from navigating to items that are farther
down in the drop-down list.
|
Press Ctrl+down arrow
to scroll through the items in the drop-down list, and then press
Enter or Tab to make a selection.
|
|
JAWS cannot read the
contents of a tree table (that is, a table that contains a tree) unless
the table is in Edit mode.
|
Make sure that the focus
is in the tree table, and press F2 to enter Edit mode.
|
|
After you edit or delete
a comment, the focus does not return to the comment.
|
Use the Tab key to return
the focus to the comment.
|
|
JAWS incorrectly states
that you should use Ctrl+Tab to switch tabs.
|
To switch from one tab
to the next, press the left or right arrow key and then press Enter
or spacebar.
|
|
When JAWS is running,
pressing the up and down arrow in a number selector causes your browser
to crash.
|
Enter the number instead
of using the arrow keys to select it.
|
|
When you open a new
application from the Home button in the application bar, the focus
is lost. This might also happen when you press the spacebar while
any button in the application bar is in focus.
|
Press Tab and the focus
should return to either the Home button or another button in the application
bar.
|
|
When JAWS is running,
some drop-down menus do not work correctly with the keyboard.
|
Changing the JAWS cursor
mode (press Insert+Z) can sometimes help.
|
|
In some charts, graphs,
and diagrams, color is the only means for conveying certain types
of information.
|
You can use SAS Theme
Designer for Flex to create custom colors that are easier for low-vision
and color-blind users to discern.
|
|
You cannot use the keyboard
to move the focus to the buttons that are used for changing the month
and year in the calendar control.
|
Move the focus to the
calendar control.
|
|
Using the Alt Gr key
in certain key combinations sometimes causes an action instead of
displaying a character. For example, if you use the Alt Gr key with
the plus sign (+) key, the grave (`) key, or the question mark (?)
key on some keyboards, you zoom in, invert colors, and open Help (respectively)
instead of displaying the expected character.
|
Use the Character Map
feature in Microsoft Windows to copy the character that you need.
|
|
When VoiceOver is on,
it reads an extra (unseen) button after each real button.
|
Continue navigating
to reach the next real UI control.
|
|
With VoiceOver on, when
you are selecting content in a pop-up window and you click a button
like Cancel or Save,
the pop-up window is dismissed. However, focus is not returned to
the application.
|
Refresh the page.
|
|
Sometimes, in Safari
(especially on an iPad Mini in landscape mode), when VoiceOver is
on, an extra text field is added to the left edge of the Safari window.
When this field has the focus, VoiceOver reads it as an address text
field.
|
Continue navigating
to reach the next real UI control.

Accessibility Issue
|
Workaround
|
|---|---|
|
Screen reader users
will notice inconsistent behavior when pressing the spacebar while
in the Views menu.
|
Press Enter to run an
item or to close the menu.
|
|
JAWS does not explain
which keys to use for performing actions on the objects in the My
Content section of the home page.
Note: When JAWS reads each object,
it first announces “list box”. It then announces the
object type, a colon, and the object name.
|
Press the spacebar to
display the object in the object inspector. Press Enter to open the
selected object.
|
|
Accessibility Issue
|
Workaround
|
|---|---|
|
You cannot access the
list of tabs in the right panel of the designer using only the keyboard.
|
Use the View menu
to give focus to the tabs in the right panel. You can select the Comments, Display
Rules, Filters, Interactions, Properties, Ranks, Rules,
or Styles tab.
|
|
JAWS does not read the
labels for collapse and expand panes correctly. They are read by
the screen reader as “splitter button zero.”
|
Use the View menu
to select either Maximize View or Exit
Maximized View.
|
|
You cannot re-position
a report object on the canvas in the tiled report layout.
|
Use the precision report
layout and then use the Properties tab to
adjust the size and position of the report objects. Under the Size
and Position heading, you can adjust the Left, Top, Depth, Width,
and Height properties.
|
|
Multiple report objects
are nearly invisible with the combination of the SAS High Contrast
application theme and the SAS Light report theme.
|
Do not use the SAS High
Contrast application theme with the SAS Light report theme.
|
|
Accessibility Issue
|
Workaround
|
|---|---|
|
Some
buttons and drop-down lists are not labeled. As a result, the screen
reader cannot determine the purpose of these unlabeled items.
|
No workaround is available.
|
|
Focus
is sometimes lost when roles are added, edited, or deleted on the Role
Definitions tab.
|
Press Tab to move the
focus to the Home button. You can then use
the Landmarks window to return to the Role
Definitions tab.
