Automatic scrolling can make the cursor jump in ways that causes the user to go through extra steps to get back to what he was doing. This is a special hardship for some users. This is another example of allowing for full accessibility by giving the user a way to override inappropriate design. 31788 1 cooper 2010-02-11 17:18:37 +0000 The HTML Accessibility Task Force intends to track these issues, per the proposal at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Jan/0245.html. 32534 2 ian 2010-02-23 06:40:26 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment. If you are satisfied with this response, please change the state of this bug to CLOSED. If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug. If you would like to escalate the issue to the full HTML Working Group, please add the TrackerRequest keyword to this bug, and suggest title and text for the tracker issue; or you may create a tracker issue yourself, if you are able to do so. For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Accepted Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The spec already allows for this — that's why the scrolling requirement is a "should" and not a "must" (only bringing the user's attention to the given element is a "must", and the spec doesn't say how the UA is to do that). 38124 3 cooper 2010-08-28 14:48:59 +0000 http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/44061/20100520_bugs/results Close as far as the HTML bug tracker is concerned. Refer the issue to be addressed in an external user interface recommendations document, initially to be coordinated by the User Agent Accessibility Guidelines Working Group. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-a11y/2010Aug/0350.html
