Created on 21 June 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

Keyboard and screen reader users land on a hidden field which is in the tab order, with ID edit-autosave-form-save. This also reads out for screen reader users.

This is an inconvenience for anyone using the keyboard to tab through fields, and an accessibility issue (WCAG 2.1 SC 1.3.2 & 2.4.3 Https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/meaningful-sequence.html https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/focus-order.html:

Steps to reproduce

- Open an editing form with this module enabled
- Tab through the fields/inputs in the form

Proposed resolution

- Ensure that these buttons are hidden from screenreaders and are not in the tab order
