So about the "safe" features, that you as a web content developer can rely on, that the browser supports these. The problem is: It doesn't consider how well AT supported theses features are. 14:12:10 JenStrickland has joined #apa 14:12:15 present+ 14:14:13 matatk: This has been a known issue and they want to fix it.

So trapping focus, bad UX, accessibility problems 14:36:21 I also agree with you and Paul. It's a valuable fix. 14:37:56 matatk: Paul and I both think this proposal is a good idea. Someone from WHATWG added a "maybe" comment.
