Accessibility regression: "Add to version history" focus / tab order


tallneil

I’m on a Macbook (Apple Silicon) running Figma Desktop App version 124.0.2

I think there’s been a accessibility-related regression with the “version history” modal. Previously, the “title” field was first in the tab order, so it was focused as soon as the modal opens. Now, the “title” field is third in the tab order.

As the user, I could quickly save to version history using a few keystrokes:

  1. [option] [command] [S] to open the version history modal
  2. type a title (title field was already focused)
  3. hit enter to save

With the recent regression, I need to add a step:

  1. [option] [command] [S] to open the version history modal
  2. NEW: tab twice to focus the title field
  3. type a title
  4. hit enter to save

I strongly prefer the previous behavior, where “title” was first in the tab order.

Hey @tallneil, thanks for flagging this to us!

I’ve pass this onto our team to investigate what may have caused this change.

This is on version 125.5.6 for Apple Silicon. I could swear that previously, when I opened the ‘Add to version history’ modal, the Title field would automatically receive focus, allowing me to start typing immediately. Now it requires pressing Tab to focus the Title field first.

I found a similar issue but it’s not the same.
