Affected versions

  • 89.0a1(2021-04-03)'

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10, Ubuntu 20, macOS 10.13;

Steps to reproduce

  1. Access about:devtools
  2. Press the TAB key to reach the bottom Learn More hyperlink (from footer section);

Expected result / Enhancement suggestion

  • based on the versions noticed while checking the regression range there would be some suggestions:
  1. revert to indexing Learn More link as well (not ideal implementation, version from which it changed);
  2. Expand the focus ring to select the Image, description and the Learn More link;
  3. Removal of Learn More link (to get rid of redundancy);

Actual result

  • focus ring selects icon + descriptor but skips Learn more;
  • with keyboard usage, users might expect to select the Learn More link as well, as it's the case with other browser sections as well;

Regression range

  • considered as "Good" the prior version, on which the TAB cycle included icon then focussed the [Learn more] link;
  • last good: 2020-02-02;
  • first bad: 2020-02-03;
  • Pushlog URL;

Additional notes

  • attached screenshot with the issue.
