17:24:38 [AllanJ]
all discuss #11. (Re 3.10.8) Why limit stealing focus top level viewports?: Why
17:24:39 [AllanJ]
ensure that the user can stop top-level viewports from stealing focus,
17:24:41 [AllanJ]
but not do the same about other events that steal focus (e.g. popup
17:24:43 [AllanJ]
menus)? (Priority: 3 Low) (Type: Clarify)
17:26:23 [AllanJ]
filling in form controls and the focus moves to next item when character limit reached
17:26:57 [AllanJ]
KP: this is a huge issue for speech users. seems the UA is thinking for itself.
17:31:27 [sharper]
KP: consistency makes interaction easier.
17:32:04 [sharper]
JR: 3.1.11 we have a guideline, we can make a work item and bring in some of these ideas.
17:32:28 [sharper]
JR: need a stronger control of focus in general.
17:35:42 [AllanJ]
this should be guideline 3.11
17:36:14 [sharper]
JS: Gregs intention was that uA should be able to prevent focus steeling, categorically.
17:38:35 [sharper]
JA: point 41
17:38:48 [AllanJ]
#41. (Re 3.6.3) Require minimum option range beyond that of the platform: The minimum range for each text characteristic is "the range offered by the conventional utility available in the operating environment", and only if there is none does a wide range become required. Thus, as user who needs to adjust these settings in order to make the system accessible is in great shape if the...
17:38:50 [AllanJ]
...platform has no conventions, but is "out of luck" if the platform offers a small range of options (e.g. a handheld device which normally uses just two font sizes, or does not provide any light-on-dark color schemes). It seems like the wider range should become required if the operating environment provides no default range OR if it offers a default range that is narrower than a...
17:38:51 [AllanJ]
...certain threshold. (Priority: 2 Medium) (Type: Expand)
17:39:01 [sharper]
JR: Greg is just saying that some operating environments have a very small range.
17:40:50 [sharper]
JA: is this the same for every platform?
17:41:10 [sharper]
JR: eg black and white screen, cannot require colour on this.
17:41:10 [AllanJ]
JR: different platforms would have different requirements to be compliant
17:41:38 [AllanJ]
...e.g. device with black and white screen, can't get color.
17:41:49 [sharper]
JR: does this mean we will set absolute thresholds for devices?
17:42:27 [sharper]
JA: concerned that we already get comments that UAAG is too burdomsom - hate using this as a decission point - but is pragmatic.
17:43:04 [sharper]
JS: look to make it as good as we can - but implementations will make this explicit - shouldn't guess on this.
17:43:24 [sharper]
JR: odd if we require UA to go beyond the platform and typical apps on the platform.
17:45:07 [AllanJ]
SH: query, different UAs have to meet UAAG, but have vastly different capabilities
17:45:16 [AllanJ]
...how do they conform?
17:45:56 [sharper]
KP: key is consistency - whatever is required, however it is done, make it consistent.

JA: could we get Greg to come to the meeting next week so we can have more time to digest the comments and get feedback firsthand.
17:54:08 [sharper]
JS: please write a proposal for any that don't have them - this will make things much faster.
17:54:17 [sharper]
