Description

Handle edge cases to keep tabbing constrained in withConstrainedTabbing, for example when clicking in the content and then pressing Tab. See conversation on #9973

To test:

  • use Safari or Edge / IE11 where the edge case is more evident
  • edit a post and open the Help modal (on a mac, press Control-Option-H, on Windows: Shift-Alt-H)
  • press Tab and verify focus stays on the Close button
  • click in the middle of the content
  • press Tab and verify focus is moved to the Close button

Previously, focus went to the document root.

By adding tabIndex="-1" to the withConstrainedTabbing it is possible to detect when the event.target is not the firstTabbable or lastTabbable. This happens, for example when the content is clicked and then Tab is pressed again. In this edge case, focus is moved to the first tabbable.

Fixes #10165

This component could use some tests.

* When pressing Tab and none of the tabbables has focus, the keydown
* event happens on the wrapper div: move focus on the first tabbable.

Would it be enough to test event.target === this.focusContainRef.current ? More optimized, more explicit to what we are testing.

Or are there other cases where the target of the tab press would itself not be tabbable? I guess might account for elements with tabIndex=-1 within the content? If so, should be update the comment to reflect this?

Yep it would be nicer and simpler. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on IE11 where the event.target seems to be the clicked children element in the content. See below, in order:

  • event.target
  • event.currentTarget
  • this.focusContainRef.current

Ah! This is fine then.

Checks edge cases in withConstrainedTabbing.
