A forum that I’m on recently upgraded from 2.7.0.beta3 to 2.7.0.beta4, and now the username field is no longer autofocused. And tabbing goes through all the links on the (greyed out) page behind it rather than jumping to it. So it’s very hard to log in with just the keyboard.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a private/incognito browser window (Ctrl-Shift-N on most browsers, Ctrl-Shift-P on Firefox).
- Go to a discourse forum site.
- Hit tab three times, then enter to pop up the login dialog.
- Try to navigate to the username field without using a mouse or other pointer device. Notice the behavior of hitting tab a bunch of times.
Suggested fix: either go back to autofocusing the username field, or if that’s not an option (searching here suggests that it was maybe causing problems on phones/tablets with the onscreen keyboard covering up the fields?) then at least give the login dialog elements a tabindex of 1 (or put them first in the HTML) so you’re not tabbing through parts of the page that you can’t even really see and definitely don’t care about.
s are all in row.
